धर्मार्थकामाः खलु तात लोके समीक्षिता धर्मफलोदयेषु | ते तत्र सर्वे स्युरसंशयं मे भार्येव वश्याऽभिमता सुपुत्रा || २-२१-५६

sanskrit

Dharma, artha and kama, Oh ! my dear are adjudged in this world according to the fruits of righteous action. As a wife who is obedient, who is beloved and who is having good sons, good work yields all these three things. [2-21-56]

यस्मिंस्तु सर्वे स्युरसन्निविष्टा धर्मो यत स्स्यात्तदुपक्रमेत | द्वेष्यो भवत्यर्थपरो हि लोके कामात्मता खल्वपि न प्रशस्ता || २-२१-५७

sanskrit

If actions which combine these three (dharma, artha and kama), cannot be performed (which is likely), resort to righteousness. (For) one who seeks wealth is abhorred and one who seeks fulfilment of desires does not attract admiration in this world. [2-21-57]

sanskrit

It is impossible for me not to execute the promise completely, Oh ! my dear, he (Dasaratha) is our preceptor and, therefore, fit to command us. Even for mother Kausalya, he is her husband, her refuge and her dharma. [2-21-59]
