A young brahmin student of Takkasilā fell
in love with a woman and married her. She was very capricious and her husband
neglected his duties. The teacher instructed his student to take no notice of
his wife's moods.
The story was related to a devout layman of Sāvatthi who had as wife a
capricious woman. She worried him so much that he neglected his visits to the
Buddha. The couple were identical in both stories. J. i.299-301.
