Devotion to her husband is woman's merit; it is her penance; it is her eternal Heaven. Merit, penances and Heaven become hers who considers her husband as her all in all, and who gifted with chastity, seeks to devote herself to her husband in all things.
पुण्यमेतत् तपश्चैतत् स्वर्गश्चैष सनातनः। या नारी भर्तृपरमा भवेद् भर्तृव्रता सती॥
