There was a rich man named Dhanadatta and he didn’t have a son either. He really wanted to have a son. They tell this rich man that he should bring a sacrifice and have a son performed for him like happened in the past to other people that wanted a son. The rich merchant decided to take their word and try to bring a sacrifice to have a son because he didn’t have any other options. He had a son and named him Guhasena. It was time for his son to get married years later and his father went with him to help him and told everyone he was going on a business trip. As they were traveling, Dhanadatta found a women who he thought would be perfect for his son. The girl loved his son but her parents weren’t so thrilled about him. However, she decided to leave her parents behind just for him. They got married on the way back home to his city. Unfortunately years later his father died and he had to continue his business. An important business trip came up and his wife didn’t want him to go. She let him go because they were told to both hold onto a lotus and they will know if one partner is committing adultery. There were a group of fools that wanted to get his wife to commit adultery. However his wife wasn’t stupid and she fooled them while they thought they were fooling her. She then killed the nun and fools who were trying to get her to commit adultery. She was then worried about someone trying to kill her husband now out of revenge.
