Pradveshi said : The husband then addressing his wife Pradveshi said, "Why are you dissatisfied with me?" The husband is called Bhatri, because he supports his wife; he is called Pati, because he protects her, but you are neither to me. O great ascetic, as you are blind from your birth, it is I who have supported you and your children. But I shall do it no longer.
प्रद्वेष्युवाच प्रद्विषन्तीं पतिर्भार्यां किं मां द्वेक्षीति चाब्रवीत्। भार्याया भरणाद्भर्ती पालनाच पतिः स्मृतः॥ अहं त्वद्भरणाशक्ता जात्यधं ससुतं तदा। नित्यकालं श्रमेणार्ता न भरेयं महातपः॥
