मितं ददाति हि पिता मितं भ्राता मितं सुतः । अमितस्य हि दातारं भर्त्तारं पूजये त्सदा
mitaṃ dadāti hi pitā mitaṃ bhrātā mitaṃ sutaḥ | amitasya hi dātāraṃ bharttāraṃ pūjaye tsadā
मितं ददाति हि पिता, मितं भ्राता मितं सुतः; अमितस्य दातारं भार्तारं सा सदा पूजयेत्।

Scene: A symbolic comparison scene: father, brother, and son each offering measured gifts, while the husband is depicted as offering abundant support; the wife performs respectful pūjā/namaskāra.
Gratitude and reverence within the household are emphasized, portraying the marital bond as a central axis of dharma.
