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
باپ ناپ تول کر دیتا ہے، بھائی ناپ تول کر دیتا ہے، بیٹا بھی ناپ تول کر دیتا ہے؛ مگر شوہر بے اندازہ دینے والا ہے، اس لیے عورت کو ہمیشہ اپنے شوہر کی تعظیم کرنی چاہیے۔
