Narada Purana — Purva Bhaga, Shloka 24
The Characteristics of Devotion to Hari
या तु नारी पतिप्राणा पतिपूजापरायणा । तस्यास्तुष्टो जगन्नाथो ददाति स्वपदं मुने ॥ २४ ॥
yā tu nārī patiprāṇā patipūjāparāyaṇā | tasyāstuṣṭo jagannātho dadāti svapadaṃ mune || 24 ||
Nhưng người phụ nữ lấy chồng làm sinh mệnh, một lòng chuyên chú thờ kính và phụng sự chồng—được Jagannātha, Chúa tể vũ trụ, hoan hỷ—thì Ngài ban cho nàng chính cõi tối thượng của Ngài, hỡi bậc hiền triết.
