Śāpaprāpti (Receiving a Curse) — Mohinī Narrative
वेदैः शुश्रूषणं भर्तुः स्त्रीणां धर्मः प्रकीर्तितः । यद्ब्रवीति पतिः किंचित्तत्कार्यमाविशंकया ॥ ७३ ॥
vedaiḥ śuśrūṣaṇaṃ bhartuḥ strīṇāṃ dharmaḥ prakīrtitaḥ | yadbravīti patiḥ kiṃcittatkāryamāviśaṃkayā || 73 ||
ବେଦରେ ସ୍ତ୍ରୀମାନଙ୍କ ଧର୍ମ ଭାବେ ଭର୍ତ୍ତାଙ୍କ ଶୁଶ୍ରୂଷା (ଶ୍ରଦ୍ଧାସହିତ ସେବା) ପ୍ରକୀର୍ତ୍ତିତ। ପତି ଯାହା କିଛି କହନ୍ତି—ଅଳ୍ପ ହେଲେ ମଧ୍ୟ—ସନ୍ଦେହ ବିନା ତାହା କରିବା ଉଚିତ।
Narada (instructional discourse; traditional dialogue frame with Sanatkumara lineage)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: shanta

It frames household life as a dharmic discipline, teaching that steadiness, trust, and dutiful service within marriage are regarded as Veda-sanctioned virtues that sustain social and spiritual order.
While not explicitly naming Vishnu-bhakti, it presents a bhakti-like ethic of faithful service (sevā) and single-mindedness, applying devotional attitudes to one’s prescribed duties in the household.
No specific Vedanga (like Vyakarana, Jyotisha, or Kalpa) is taught directly; the verse instead appeals to Vedic authority to define practical dharma (right conduct) within the grihastha framework.
