As also in respect of alms-giving, of offering worship to the celestials, of offering oblations to the Pitris or boiling food on auspicious days in order to offer it to the Pitris and the guests, of reverence and of service to those that deserve our respect and of all else that are known to me. I always perform my duty night and day without the least idleness. Having my heart firmly fixed in humility and fixed in approved rules, I serve my gentle, truthful and virtuous husbands, considering them always as so many poisonous snakes capable of being enraged at trifle.
भिक्षाबलिश्राद्धमिति स्थालीपाकाच पर्वसु। मान्यानां मानसत्कारा ये चान्ये विदिता मम॥ तान् सर्वाननुवर्तेऽहं दिवारात्रमतन्द्रिता। विनयान् नियमांश्चैव सदा सर्वात्मना श्रिता॥ मृदून् सतः सत्यशीलान् सत्यधर्मानुपालिनः। आशीविषानिव क्रुद्धान् पतीन् परिचराम्यहम्॥
