Koushika Confronted by the Faithful HousewifeCh. 494
Koushika, still shaken by the crane's death, enters a house to beg for alms. The housewife asks him to wait while she serves her hungry husband first — and Koushika burns with anger. But the housewife does not flinch. She tells him she knows what he did to the crane, and that a hunter in Mithila will teach him what dharma truly means.
