Shloka 27
Śāṇḍilī–Sumanā-saṃvāda: Sat-strī-samudācāra and Pati-dharma
Conduct of the Virtuous Wife
रमस्वैधस्व मोदस्व देहि चैव यजस्व च । न त्वामभिभविष्यन्ति वैद्या न च तपस्विन:
ramasvaidhva modasva dehi caiva yajasva ca | na tvām abhibhaviṣyanti vaidyā na ca tapasvinaḥ ||
তুমি আনন্দসহ স্বধৰ্মত ৰত থাকা, সদায় উন্নতি লাভ কৰা, প্ৰসন্ন থাকা; দান কৰা আৰু যজ্ঞ কৰা। বিদ্বান আৰু তপস্বীসকলেও তোমাক পৰাভূত কৰিব নোৱাৰিব।

Educational Q&A
Live joyfully while staying rooted in svadharma: cultivate well-being, practice generosity (dāna), and uphold sacred duty through yajña; such a life grants moral strength that cannot be easily overcome even by the learned or the austere.
Vyāsa offers exhortation and reassurance to a great sage-like listener, urging a balanced dharmic life—joy, growth, charity, and sacrifice—while promising that scholars and ascetics will not be able to subdue him.
