Shvetaketu Establishes the Law of Marital FidelityCh. 113
In an ancient time of different customs, the young sage Shvetaketu watches a Brahmana take his mother by the hand to lead her away. His father Uddalaka explains this is the eternal, accepted practice. Enraged, Shvetaketu rejects this animal-like dharma and forcibly establishes a new law of marital fidelity for humans.
