Demerit’s gained and evil birth,
scared man and women – brief their joy,
the king decrees a heavy doom:
so none should sleep with one who’s wed.
Explanation: Demerits will be acquired. The lowly state of hell, will be his lot. Since both man and the woman are frightened, their embrace will generate little pleasure. The king’s law will impose severe punishment. Because of all these, a man will not covet another’s wife.
