Marital Fidelity and Ethical Devotion
शौचाचारसमायुक्ता सापि मृत्युम् न पश्यति ॥ भर्तुर्मुखं प्रपश्येद्या भर्त्तुश्चित्तानुसारिणी ॥
śaucācārasamāyuktā sāpi mṛtyuṃ na paśyati || bharturmukhaṃ prapaśyedyā bharttuścittānusāriṇī ||
जो औरत साफ-सुथरी रहती है और सही काम करती है, वो मौत को नहीं देखती। जो अपने पति का चेहरा देखती है और उसके मन की बात समझती है, वो भी सेफ है।
