TRANSLATION — TRADUCCION

The King thought to himself: Persons who have no son are certainly fortunate. They must have worshiped the Lord in their previous lives so that they would not have to suffer the unbearable unhappiness caused by a bad son.El rey reflexionaba: En verdad que los que no tienen hijos son muy afortunados. Para no tener que sufrir la insoportable desdicha que supone un mal hijo, en sus vidas pasadas han debido de adorar al Señor.

PURPORT — SIGNIFICADO

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.It is said that a married couple must have a son, otherwise their family life is void.
