Once, the Buddha mentioned about 500 monks who had boredom and wanted to disrobe for looking for women and told the story of a bird king named Kunala. There were two friends of bird kings named Kunala and Punnamukkha. The two had many wives as the same. One day, Punnamukkha got sick, all his wives fled away. Kunala came and talked to his friend. My friend, women despise their husbands for eight reasons. That are, 1. Poverty, 2. Sickness, 3. Old age, 4. He is a drunkard, 5. One is stupid, 6. One is intoxicanted, 7. One can’t keep up with his work, and 8. One cannot make wealth.
