स्वर्वीथिर्वत्सरस्येष्टा भार्यासूत षडात्मजान् । पुष्पार्णं तिग्मकेतुं च इषमूर्जं वसुं जयम् ॥ १२ ॥
svarvīthir vatsarasyeṣṭā bhāryāsūta ṣaḍ-ātmajān puṣpārṇaṁ tigmaketuṁ ca iṣam ūrjaṁ vasuṁ jayam
كان للملك فاتسارا زوجة عزيزة جدًا تُدعى سفارفيتي، وقد أنجبت ستة أبناء هم: بوشبارنا، وتيجماكيتو، وإيسا، وأورجا، وفاسو، وجايا.
Vatsara’s wife is mentioned here as iṣṭā, which means “worshipable.” In other words, it appears that Vatsara’s wife had all good qualities; for example, she was always very faithful and obedient and affectionate to her husband. She had all good qualities for managing household affairs. If both the husband and wife are endowed with good qualities and live peacefully, then nice children take birth, and thus the whole family is happy and prosperous.
