The trap

देवर्षिजलन्धरसंवादो नामाष्टादशोऽध्यायः
 
Narada-Jalandhara discussion Chapter 18
 
नारद उवाच |
 
Narada said (to Jalandhara)
 
जायारत्नं महाश्रेष्ठं जलन्धर न ते गृहे |
तदानेतुं विशेषेण स्त्रीरत्नं वै त्वमर्हसि || 39 ||
 
Jalandhara, (you have all kinds of valuable things at home, but) you don't have the very best jewel-like wife. It is proper of you to bring such a jewel-like woman particularly.
