From the Cleveland Museum of Art record
After working together to revive the woman from her death-like illness, the three suitors resume their rivalry. The men brawl in the courtyard while she looks on from her chamber. Horrified by the behavior of her suitors, she renounces worldly matters, joins a temple, and devotes herself to serving god. When the daughter joins the temple, she will shave her head and don woolen clothing.
