In household life she was a mother and father, guarding the prince who was the heir apparent and guarding the country's land. Once she became his consort, her name was derived from her lord. This signifies that the ten stages having been perfected, there is no stage that is not guarded. Now, the prince had three consorts: the first was named Gopā, the second was named Yaśodharā, and the third was named Manohārā. Now, because this is the culmination of the causal stages, the first is taken; because Dharma-joy has been fulfilled, it is entrusted to the former consort.
