佛言。第五王夢見一人索繩人後有羊羊主食繩者。此後世人夫婿出行賈作。其婦於後便與他家男子交通。食其財物。王夢正是。王莫恐悑。

The Buddha said: "The fifth dream, in which the king saw a man twisting a rope, behind whom was a sheep that kept eating the rope: this means that in future generations, when a husband travels abroad on business or labor, his wife behind his back will engage in intercourse with other men and consume his wealth. The king's dream refers precisely to this. Great King, do not fear."
