Adhyāya 152 — Bhīṣma’s Authorization for Yudhiṣṭhira’s Return to the Capital (नगरप्रवेशानुज्ञा)

शुश्रूषां परिचारं च देववद्‌ या करोति च । नान्यभावा हाविमना: सुव्रता सुखदर्शना

śuśrūṣāṃ paricāraṃ ca devavad yā karoti ca | nānyabhāvā hāvimanaḥ suvratā sukhadarśanā ||

ശ്രീ മഹേശ്വരൻ അരുളിച്ചെയ്തു—ദേവനോടെന്നപോലെ ഭർത്താവിന് ശുശ്രൂഷയും പരിചരണവും ചെയ്യുന്നവൾ, മനസ്സ് മറ്റൊരിടത്തേക്കു തിരിയാത്തവൾ, ചാഞ്ചല്യരഹിതമായ നിശ്ചയമുള്ളവൾ—അവൾ സുവ്രത, ദർശനത്തിൽ സുഖദ, ഗൃഹധർമ്മഭക്തിനീതിയെ ധരിക്കുന്നവളാകുന്നു।
