Mahabharata — Anushasana Parva, Shloka 16
Vipula’s Yogic Protection of the Guru’s Household (विपुलस्य योगरक्षा / Vipulasya Yogarakṣā)
Devanagari script
अनर्थित्वान्मनुष्याणां भयात् परिजनस्य च । मर्यादायाममर्यादा: स्त्रियस्तिष्ठन्ति भर्तृषु
Translation
ਇਸਤ੍ਰੀਆਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਆਪੇ ਮਰਯਾਦਾ ਦਾ ਧਿਆਨ ਟਿਕਦਾ ਨਹੀਂ; ਜਦੋਂ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਚਾਹੁਣ ਵਾਲਾ ਪੁਰਖ ਨਾ ਮਿਲੇ, ਪਰਿਵਾਰ ਦਾ ਡਰ ਬਣਿਆ ਰਹੇ ਅਤੇ ਪਤੀ ਨੇੜੇ ਹੋਵੇ—ਤਦ ਹੀ ਉਹ ਮਰਯਾਦਾ ਵਿੱਚ ਰਹਿ ਸਕਦੀਆਂ ਹਨ।
