पत्युर्नाम न गृह्णीयात् कदाचन पतिव्रता । आक्रुष्टापि न चाक्रोशेत्प्रसीदेत्ताडितापि च । हन्यतामिति च ब्रूयात्स्वामिन्निति कृपां कुरु
patyurnāma na gṛhṇīyāt kadācana pativratā | ākruṣṭāpi na cākrośetprasīdettāḍitāpi ca | hanyatāmiti ca brūyātsvāminniti kṛpāṃ kuru
ភរិយាដែលស្មោះត្រង់ចំពោះស្វាមី មិនគួរនិយាយឈ្មោះស្វាមីដោយអសុភាពឡើយ។ ទោះត្រូវគេជេរ ក៏មិនត្រូវជេរតប; ទោះត្រូវវាយ ក៏ត្រូវស្ងប់ស្ងាត់ និងបន្ធូរអារម្មណ៍។ បើគាត់និយាយថា «សម្លាប់នាងទៅ» នាងក៏ត្រូវអង្វរថា «ម្ចាស់អើយ សូមមេត្តាករុណា»។
