आगत्य तत्र सा दृष्ट्वा न पतिं स्वन्तपस्विनी । गृहकार्यं च सा कृत्वाखिलम्पतिनिदेशतः
āgatya tatra sā dṛṣṭvā na patiṃ svantapasvinī | gṛhakāryaṃ ca sā kṛtvākhilampatinideśataḥ
Khi đến nơi, người phụ nữ đức hạnh, chuyên tu khổ hạnh ấy không thấy phu quân. Dẫu vậy, theo đúng lời dặn của chồng, nàng vẫn chu toàn mọi việc trong nhà.

It highlights dharma as a form of bhakti: even in separation or uncertainty, steadfast service and disciplined conduct purify the mind and align the devotee with Pati (Shiva) through obedience and sincerity.
The verse reflects Saguna devotion expressed through seva and order in life—serving the Lord’s will. In Shaiva practice, such disciplined living supports focused Linga-worship by making the home and mind fit for puja.
A practical takeaway is to do daily duties as Shiva-arpana (offering to Shiva) while repeating the Panchakshara mantra “Om Namaḥ Śivāya,” maintaining purity and regularity in daily worship.
