Adhyāya 152 — Bhīṣma’s Authorization for Yudhiṣṭhira’s Return to the Capital (नगरप्रवेशानुज्ञा)
सधर्मचारिणी मे त्वं समशीला समचव्रता । समानसारवीर्या च तपस्तीव्रं कृतं च ते
sadharmacāriṇī me tvaṁ samaśīlā samavratā | samānasāravīryā ca tapastīvraṁ kṛtaṁ ca te ||
তুমি মোৰ সহধৰ্মচাৰিণী; তোমাৰ শীল-স্বভাৱ আৰু ব্ৰত মোৰ সমান। তোমাৰ সাৰভূত শক্তি আৰু বীৰ্যও মোৰ তুল্য, আৰু তুমি তীব্ৰ তপস্যাও সম্পন্ন কৰিছা।

Maheśvara addresses his consort, affirming her as his co-practitioner of dharma and acknowledging her equal virtues, vows, power, and the intensity of her performed tapas.
