आर्यपुत्र पिता माता भ्राता पुत्रस्तथा स्नुषा | स्वानि पुण्यानि भुञ्जानाः स्वं स्वं भाग्यमुपासते || २-२७-३
Oh ! son of a noble monarch, father, mother, brother, son or daughterinlaw (everybody) experiences the merit (of their past deeds) and receives what is due from destiny. [2-27-3]
A wife alone, Oh ! best of men shares the destiny of her husband. I am also therefore, ordered to dwell in the forest. ( a command to you is a command to me). [2-27-4]
न पिता नात्मजो नात्मा न माता न सखीजनः | इह प्रेत्य च नारीणां पतिरेको गतिस्सदा || २-२७-५
It is not her father or mother, nor her son or herself, nor her friends but her husband alone gives a woman the permanent refuge in this or in the next world. [2-27-5]
