सावित्री पतिशुश्रूषां कृत्वा स्वर्गे महीयते।तथावृत्तिश्च याता त्वं पतिशुश्रूषया दिवम्।।2.118.10।।
sāvitrī patiśuśrūṣāṃ kṛtvā svarge mahīyate | tathāvṛttiś ca yātā tvaṃ patiśuśrūṣayā divam ||
Sāvitrī, por seu serviço devotado ao esposo, é honrada no céu; tu também, seguindo esse mesmo caminho, alcançarás o céu por tal serviço.
Having served her husband (faithfully), Savitri is honoured in heaven. You also, byfollowing the same path of serving your husband, shall reach the heaven.
Upholding one’s chosen duty with fidelity: the verse frames steadfast marital devotion as a dharmic path leading to honour and spiritual reward.
Anasūyā instructs Sītā by citing Sāvitrī as an exemplar of devoted conduct.
Steadfast loyalty and disciplined commitment to dharma in one’s role.
