मितं ददाति हि पिता मितं भ्राता मितं सुतः । अमितस्य हि दातारं भर्त्तारं पूजये त्सदा
mitaṃ dadāti hi pitā mitaṃ bhrātā mitaṃ sutaḥ | amitasya hi dātāraṃ bharttāraṃ pūjaye tsadā
ឪពុកផ្តល់តែតាមកម្រិត បងប្អូនផ្តល់តែតាមកម្រិត កូនក៏ផ្តល់តែតាមកម្រិត; តែស្វាមីជាអ្នកផ្តល់អមិត (លើសកម្រិត) ដូច្នេះនាងគួរគោរពបូជាស្វាមីជានិច្ច។
Skanda (deduced: Kāśīkhaṇḍa commonly Skanda speaking to Agastya)
Tirtha: Kāśī-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: A symbolic comparison scene: father, brother, and son each offering measured gifts, while the husband is depicted as offering abundant support; the wife performs respectful pūjā/namaskāra.
Gratitude and reverence within the household are emphasized, portraying the marital bond as a central axis of dharma.
The Kāśī Khaṇḍa setting frames the instruction within Kāśī’s sacred culture, though no single tīrtha is named in this verse.
It prescribes pūjā/ सम्मान (honoring) of the husband as a constant duty (sadā).
