Description of the Torments within the Cycle of Rebirth: Hymn to Yama and the Introduction to Citragupta’s Administration
पतिव्रतास्तु या नार्यो दुःखितास्तपसि स्थिताः ॥ न त्वं शक्त इह स्थानात्पातनाय कदाचन
pativratāstu yā nāryo duḥkhitāstapasi sthitāḥ || na tvaṃ śakta iha sthānātpātanāya kadācana
जिन औरतों का मन अपने पति में लगा होता है, वो कितनी भी दुखी हो, तपस्या में भी हो, तुम उन्हे कभी गिरा नहीं सकते। वो अपनी जगह से हिल नहीं सकती।
