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 ||
श्री महेश्वर म्हणाले—जी स्त्री देवाप्रमाणे पतीची शुश्रूषा व परिचर्या करते, जिचे मन दुसरीकडे वळत नाही, जी चंचल संकल्परहित आहे—ती सुव्रता, दर्शनास सुखद, गृहधर्मातील भक्तिनिष्ठेचे मूर्तिमंत रूप होय।
