His irreligious activities at home cause irreligion and quarrel among everyone, and this creates only endless anxiety.** ## Purport It is said that a married couple must have a son, otherwise their family life is void. But a son born without good qualities is as good as a blind eye. A blind eye has no use for seeing, but it is simply unbearably painful. The King therefore thought himself very unfortunate to have such a bad son.
