Hitopdesh • Chapter 2 • Shloka 195
अथ दूतीवचनं श्रुत्वा लावण्यवत्युवाच -- अहं पतिव्रता कथंएतस्मिन्नधर्मे
पतिलङ्घने प्रवर्ते । यतः ।
सा भार्या या ग्र्हे दक्षा सा भार्या या प्रजावती ।
सा भर्या या पतिप्राणा सा भार्या या पतिव्रता ॥
Now on hearing the words of the go-between Lavanyavati said - I am devoted to my husband. How shall I then think of doing this adharmic (unrighteous) deed of being faithless to my husband? For, she is a wife who is diligent in the management of the household; she is a wife who is prolific in children; she is a wife who loves her husband as her own life, and she is a wife who is solely devoted to her husband.
