The wise do not favour a fourth child,even in times of trouble. After three,they say the woman must be driven by lust;if there is a fifth,she must be a whore.You know that this is dharma,and that it makes sense;so how is it that now you act against it,as if through forgetfulness,and ask me for more children?
