Dvaitavana
प्रियांश्व रक्तांश्व हितां श्व॒ भर्तु- स््तान् भोजयेथा विविधैरुपायै: । देष्यैरुपेक्ष्यैरहितैश्व॒ तस्य भिद्यस्व नित्यं कुहकोद्यतैश्वन,पतिदेवके जो प्रिय, अनुरक्त एवं हितैषी सुहृद् हों, उन्हें तरह-तरहके उपायोंसे खिलाओ-पिलाओ तथा जो उनके शत्रु, उपेक्षणीय और अहितकारक हों अथवा जो उनसे छल-कपट करनेके लिये उद्यत रहते हों; उनसे सदा दूर रहो

Vaiśampāyana said: “Those who are dear to your husband, devoted to him, and truly well-wishing—win them over and keep them satisfied by various considerate means, offering hospitality and support. But from those whom he dislikes, those who deserve to be ignored, those who would harm him, and those ever intent on deceit—separate yourself and keep away from them at all times.”
