Shloka 46
Adhyāya 152 — Bhīṣma’s Authorization for Yudhiṣṭhira’s Return to the Capital (नगरप्रवेशानुज्ञा)
शुश्रूषां परिचर्या च करोत्यविमना: सदा । सुप्रतीता विनीता च सा नारी धर्मभागिनी
śuśrūṣāṃ paricaryā ca karoty avimanāḥ sadā | supratītā vinītā ca sā nārī dharmabhāginī ||
Wika ni Maheshvara: Ang babaeng may isip na di nababagabag, na palagiang nagsasagawa ng masusing paglilingkod at wastong pag-aalaga sa tahanan—lubos ang pagtitiwala at mapagpakumbaba ang asal—ay nagiging karapat-dapat na kabahagi ng dharma at ng mga bunga nito. Inilalarawan ng taludtod ang katapatan sa pag-aasawa at kusang paglilingkod, na ginagawa nang may panloob na saya at kababaang-loob, bilang disiplinang etikal na landas na nagbubunga ng pinakamataas na gantimpalang panrelihiyon sa loob ng sambahayan.

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that steady, willing service and care within marriage—done without resentment, with trust and humility—constitute a dharmic discipline through which a woman becomes a participant in religious merit (dharma-phala).
Śrī Maheśvara is instructing on household dharma, describing the qualities and conduct by which a wife is said to attain the best fruits of dharma: constant service (śuśrūṣā), practical care (paricaryā), inner cheer, trust, and modest behavior.
