On the untrustworthiness and
treacherousness of women. A young merchant, Mahādhana, patronised a courtesan,
giving her a thousand pieces daily. One day, having no time to fetch the money,
he went empty-handed and was cast out. Thereupon, in disgust, he became an
ascetic (J.iii.474ff).
The story is related to a monk who
wished to leave the Order on account of a woman.
