A third time that girl sent the same message to her mother, and a second time the courtesan went to Udāyī and told him the same thing. He replied, “When I first went, they just dismissed me. Go yourself; I’m not going.”

Then that courtesan complained and criticized him, “May Venerable Udāyī be miserable and unhappy, just as my girl is miserable and unhappy because of her nasty mother-in-law, father-in-law, and husband.” The girl, too, complained and criticized him in the same way, as did other women who were unhappy with their mothers-in-law, fathers-in-law, and husbands. But those women who were happy with their in-laws wished him well, saying, “May Venerable Udāyī be happy and well, just as we are happy and well because of our good mothers-in-law, fathers-in-law, and husbands.”
