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:,महर्षे! तुम आनन्दपूर्वक स्वधर्म-पालनमें रत रहो, तुम्हारी निरन्तर उन्नति हो, तुम प्रसन्न रहो, दान दो और यज्ञ करो। विद्वान् और तपस्वी तुम्हारा पराभव नहीं कर सकेंगे
ramasvaidhva modasva dehi caiva yajasva ca | na tvām abhibhaviṣyanti vaidyā na ca tapasvinaḥ ||
Vyāsa said: “Delight in life while remaining firmly engaged in your own dharma; may you continually prosper. Be joyful; give in charity and perform sacrifice. Learned men and ascetics will not be able to overpower you.”
