Shloka 27
Śāṇḍilī–Sumanā-saṃvāda: Sat-strī-samudācāra and Pati-dharma
Conduct of the Virtuous Wife
रमस्वैधस्व मोदस्व देहि चैव यजस्व च । न त्वामभिभविष्यन्ति वैद्या न च तपस्विन:
ramasvaidhva modasva dehi caiva yajasva ca | na tvām abhibhaviṣyanti vaidyā na ca tapasvinaḥ ||
Вьяса сказал: «Радуйся жизни, оставаясь твёрдо преданным своему дхармическому долгу; да будет тебе непрестанное преуспеяние. Будь весел сердцем; подавай дары и совершай жертвоприношение. Учёные мужи и подвижники не смогут одолеть тебя».
व्यास उवाच
Educational Q&A
Live joyfully while staying rooted in svadharma: cultivate well-being, practice generosity (dāna), and uphold sacred duty through yajña; such a life grants moral strength that cannot be easily overcome even by the learned or the austere.
Vyāsa offers exhortation and reassurance to a great sage-like listener, urging a balanced dharmic life—joy, growth, charity, and sacrifice—while promising that scholars and ascetics will not be able to subdue him.
