The verse highlights dharmic steadfastness: true fidelity is not only physical but also mental. Ethical integrity is shown through disciplined thought and devoted service within one’s rightful relationship.
Śrīkṛṣṇa describes a woman’s exemplary conduct: she attends upon her husband and does not even mentally incline toward another, presenting her as a model of loyal, restrained behavior.
