The Greatness of Kubjāmraka: Raibhya’s Boon and the Teaching on the Sacred Tīrthas
धनपूर्वस्तु ते धर्मः स च योषित्कृतः खलु ॥ अहो सत्यं जनानां च स तु स्त्रीभ्यः सुतः कुलम् ॥
dhanapūrvas tu te dharmaḥ sa ca yoṣitkṛtaḥ khalu || aho satyaṁ janānāṁ ca sa tu strībhyaḥ sutaḥ kulam ||
तुम्हारा धरम पैसा के पीछे चलता है। और यह औरतों की वजह से बना है। देखो, लोगों में यही सच है। खानदान और बेटे, यह सब औरतों से ही आते हैं।
