Man desires son, daughter and wife for himself. Therefore abandon grief, for you are greatly intelligent; I shall myself go there. It is the highest and eternal duty of women, namely to sacrifice their lives and to seek the good of their husbands.
भार्या पुत्रोऽथ दुहिता सर्वमात्मार्थमिष्यते। व्यथां जहि सुबुद्ध्या त्वं स्वयं यास्यामि तत्र च॥ एतद्धि परमं नार्याः कार्यं लोके सनातनम्। प्राणानपि परित्यज्य यद् भर्तृहितमाचरेत्॥
