Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 79
सा सौभाग्यवती विप्रा जायते च प्रजावती । धनधान्यसमृद्धा च दुःखशोकविवर्जिता । दोषैः सर्वैर्विनिर्मुक्ता शंसिता धरणीतले
sā saubhāgyavatī viprā jāyate ca prajāvatī | dhanadhānyasamṛddhā ca duḥkhaśokavivarjitā | doṣaiḥ sarvairvinirmuktā śaṃsitā dharaṇītale
تغدو تلك المرأةُ البراهمنيةُ ذاتَ سعادةٍ زوجيةٍ ومقرونةً بالذرية؛ وافرةَ المالِ والحبوب، بريئةً من الحزنِ والأسى؛ متحرّرةً من كلّ عيب، ممدوحةً على ظهر الأرض.
