Shloka 11
कालयुक्तधर्मविवेकः
Discerning Dharma in Accord with Time
मातृवत् स्वसृवच्चैव नित्यं दुहितृवच्च ये
mātṛvat svasṛvaccaiva nityaṃ duhitṛvacca ye
Maheshvara bersabda: Mereka yang sentiasa memandang (kaum wanita) seperti memandang seorang ibu, seperti seorang saudara perempuan, dan seperti seorang anak perempuan—seraya memelihara kekangan yang penuh hormat pada setiap masa—menegakkan dharma dalam kehidupan bermasyarakat.
श्रीमहेश्वर उवाच
Educational Q&A
To cultivate unwavering ethical restraint by viewing women with the reverence due to one’s mother, sister, and daughter—an inner discipline that prevents exploitation and supports dharma.
Śrīmaheśvara is delivering a dharma-instruction, emphasizing a standard of conduct: constant respectful regard toward women, expressed through familial analogies (mother/sister/daughter).
