Description of the Greatness of the Pativratā
Marital Fidelity and Ethical Devotion
मौने मौना भवेद्या तु स्थिते तिष्ठति या स्वयम् ॥ सा मृत्युम् जायते विप्र नान्यत्पश्यामि किञ्चन ॥
maune maunā bhaved yā tu sthite tiṣṭhati yā svayam || sā mṛtyuṁ jāyate vipra nānyat paśyāmi kiñcana
जब पति चुप है तो वो भी चुप रहती है। जब वो खड़ा होता है तो वो भी वहीं खड़ी होती है। ऐसी औरत मौत को हरा देती है। मैं कोई दूसरा तरीका नहीं देखता।
