Educational Q&A

The verse presents a traditional dharmic claim: devoted service that pleases one’s husband is portrayed as a cause of auspicious results—progeny, comforts, social honor, and even heavenly attainment—linking household duty with merit and reputation.

Vaiśampāyana continues a didactic passage in which household conduct and marital duty are being described. This line lists the rewards said to accrue from a wife’s pleasing service within marriage.
