"When that most fortunate one had gone to Lapita, troubled by love for her offspring, Jarita pondered much; those abandoned by him, though not to be abandoned -- sages in the form of fledglings in eggs in the forest -- the grieving Jarita did not abandon her little sons in Khandava; and she nourished them once born, by her own labor, distraught with love."

Here shines a mother's faithfulness that does not abandon her children. It is telling that Jarita, unlike the father, "did not abandon her little sons": a mother's love does not depart where the father has withdrawn. In this lies the height of maternal self-giving. So the scripture reveals Jarita's devotion; and her love will become the fledglings' refuge before the fire yet to come.
