Devanagari script

गृहेश्वरीं सद्गुणभूषितां शुभां पंग्वंधयोगेन पतिं समेताम् । न लालयेत्पूरयेन्नैव कामं स किं पुमान्न पुमान्मे मतोस्ति

Transliteration

gṛheśvarīṃ sadguṇabhūṣitāṃ śubhāṃ paṃgvaṃdhayogena patiṃ sametām | na lālayetpūrayennaiva kāmaṃ sa kiṃ pumānna pumānme matosti

Translation

സദ്ഗുണങ്ങളാൽ അലങ്കരിക്കപ്പെട്ടവളും മംഗളകാരിണിയും പംഗു-അന്ധ ന്യായപ്രകാരം ഭർത്താവിനെ ലഭിച്ചവളുമായ ഗൃഹനാഥയെ ആരാണോ ലാളിക്കാത്തതും ആഗ്രഹം നിറവേറ്റാത്തതും, അവൻ എന്ത് പുരുഷനാണ്? എൻ്റെ അഭിപ്രായത്തിൽ അവൻ പുരുഷനേയല്ല.
