Adhyāya 152 — Bhīṣma’s Authorization for Yudhiṣṭhira’s Return to the Capital (नगरप्रवेशानुज्ञा)
अदिति: कश्यपस्याथ सर्वास्ता: पतिदेवता: । पृष्टाश्नोपासिताश्वैव तास्त्वया देवि नित्यश:
aditiḥ kaśyapasyātha sarvāstāḥ patidevatāḥ | pṛṣṭāśnupāsitāścaiva tāstvayā devi nityaśaḥ ||
圣者摩醯首罗说道：“阿底提（Aditi）为迦叶（Kaśyapa）之妻；而那些高贵的女神，皆以夫为天，奉夫如神。噢，女神，你常常亲近她们，侍奉并敬礼她们，又向她们询问正行之道。”

Educational Q&A
The verse upholds the ideal of pativratā-dharma: exemplary women are portrayed as treating devotion to the husband as a sacred duty, and the Goddess is praised for learning dharma through respectful inquiry and service to such exemplars.
Maheśvara addresses the Goddess, noting that she has regularly associated with and honored devoted wives—especially Aditi, Kaśyapa’s wife—and has asked them about righteous conduct, framing her conduct as disciplined learning through virtuous company.
