पतिव्रता तु या नारी पतिशुश्रूषणे रता । अहिंसका आतिथेयाः स्वधर्मनिरताः सदा
pativratā tu yā nārī patiśuśrūṣaṇe ratā | ahiṃsakā ātitheyāḥ svadharmaniratāḥ sadā
جو عورت سچ مچ پتی ورتا ہے وہ شوہر کی خدمت میں رچی بسی رہتی ہے؛ وہ اہنسا پر قائم، مہمان نوازی میں منہمک، اور ہمیشہ اپنے سَوَ دھرم میں مشغول رہتی ہے۔
