Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
: archive.org: Puranic Encyclopedia顿别惫补蝉尘颈迟腻 (啶︵啶掂じ啷嵿ぎ啶苦い啶�).鈥擜 Gem of a woman who was much devoted to her husband. The story of 顿别惫补蝉尘颈迟腻 has been so often quoted in ancient Indian literature. She was the daughter of a Vai艣ya called Dharmagupta and was married to Guhasena, son of a Vai艣ya called Dhanadatta, who belonged to T膩mraliptinagara.
After the death of his father Guhasena decided to go to Ka峁乭adv墨pa for trade, and 顿别惫补蝉尘颈迟腻, a very suspicious wife, objected to it. When his other relations began pressing him to go to the dv墨pa for trade and his wife not to go, Guhasena could not take a decision on the matter. He began a penance so that God might take the decision in the matter. 顿别惫补蝉尘颈迟腻 also followed him. Then God appeared to them in their dreams and gave each of them a red lotus flower saying, "both of you keep one flower each with you, and while both of you are away from each other if either of you go astray the lotus flower in the hands of the other person will fade." And, on awaking both of them had a flower in their hands. Guhasena with his flower in his hands started for Ka峁乭adv墨pa, and 顿别惫补蝉尘颈迟腻 stayed at home with her eyes fixed on her lotus flower. Guhasena reached the dv墨pa and traded in gems. Everybody was surprised to find in his hands a lotus flower which never faded. Four Vai艣ya youngsters wanted to understand the secret of it and one day they invited Guhasena to their house and treated him to liquor very liberally. When he got absolutely drunk they questioned him about the secret of the lotus flower, and he, though in indistinct words, explained it to them. When the secret was thus out all the four youngsters decided to seduce his wife. They extracted from him the information that he was not returning in the near future, and they then came to T膩mralipti.
