In purse of time she bore him five sons who Sere ignorant, handsome and proud. Nova Brahman named Vaisvanara came D the house of Govindadatta in order to Ieseech hospitable reception, like a Lure god of fire. Govindadatta being way from home at this time, he went up his sons, and having made them re- pectful salutation, was greeted in return nth only laughter then the Brahman in nger prepared to go out from that house, hen Govindadatta came in, and asked respectful manner, in order to pacify i'm, the cause of such anger, and thus be Brahman spoke: Your sons are bOls, and you are also one through con- bet with them. l will not eat in your ouse no atonement can be made to me- hen Govindadatta said to him with an ath: l will never again touch these de- z snerate sons.' His wife, kindly dis ! osed to the guest, came and said the pme to him. Then Vaisvanara was, nth some difficulty, made to accept their Ospltality.
