16-21. The wrong-headed householder deep in the ideas of "I" and "Mine" in respect of his house and seeing the separation from his wife to come, and thinking as his own of his daughters, children and grandchildren, daughters-in-law, sons-in-law and attendants, houses, treasures, and other belongings and whatever there remained of his property only in name, he began to muse (with great anxiety)—how when I am gone to the other wold, my helpless wife would get on, lamenting for the children; for she does not eat, I fasting; does not bathe in her devotion to me when I have not; when I am angry she trembles; when threatened she is silent through fear; she rouses me when I am at a loss; wheh I go out to distant places, she grows thin through grief and very likely she will, though a mother of children, follow this course of householders (die with me); how will these sons and daughters with none else to depend upon could live on, when I am gone, like those in a broken vessel on the sea?
