Adhyāya 152 — Bhīṣma’s Authorization for Yudhiṣṭhira’s Return to the Capital (नगरप्रवेशानुज्ञा)
शुश्रूषां परिचर्या च करोत्यविमना: सदा । सुप्रतीता विनीता च सा नारी धर्मभागिनी
śuśrūṣāṃ paricaryā ca karoty avimanāḥ sadā | supratītā vinītā ca sā nārī dharmabhāginī ||
摩醯首罗说道：女子若能心无烦扰，恒常以殷勤之侍奉与合宜之家务照料为务，且对夫全然信任、行止谦和端谨，便成为与法（dharma）及其果报同分之人。此偈以婚姻中的贞信与甘愿之服事——以内在欢悦与谦卑而行——为居家秩序中一条自律的伦理之道，能成就最上功德。

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that steady, willing service and care within marriage—done without resentment, with trust and humility—constitute a dharmic discipline through which a woman becomes a participant in religious merit (dharma-phala).
Śrī Maheśvara is instructing on household dharma, describing the qualities and conduct by which a wife is said to attain the best fruits of dharma: constant service (śuśrūṣā), practical care (paricaryā), inner cheer, trust, and modest behavior.
