21.21

*sūta uvāca
avadadrājaputro 'pi sa pipīlikabhāṣitam
rāgavāgbhiḥ samutpannam etaddhāsyaṃ varānane //

Sûta said that after hearing those words of his consort the king said that the conversation between the ant and his better half made him laugh so much and so suddenly. There was no other reason for his doing so. The queen said that the explanation was not true, and that he laughed at her. She would give up her life. How could a mortal understand the language of lower beings without being a God?—21-23.
