112 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 9, Ch. 11

TRANSLATION

[Speaking to his unchaste wife, the man said] You go to another
man’s house, and therefore you are unchaste and polluted. I shall
not maintain you any more. A henpecked husband like Lord Rama
may accept a wife like Sita, who went to another man’s house, but I
am not henpecked like Him, and therefore I shall not accept you

again.

Sukadeva Gosvami said: Men with a poor fund of knowledge and

a heinous character speak nonsensically. Fearing such rascals,
Lord Ramacandra abandoned His wife, Sitadevi, although she was
pregnant. Thus Sitadevi went to the asrama of Valmiki Muni.
