विभूतिः त्यागहीन इव सत्यहीन इव भारति ।
विद्या प्रशमहीन इव न भाति स्त्री पतिं विना ॥
vibhūtiḥ tyāga-hīna iva satya-hīna iva bhārati |
vidyā praśama-hīna iva na bhāti strī patiṁ vinā ||
(Rāmāyaṇa Mañjarī: Ayodhyā)
“Like wealth without giving, speech without truth, and learning without tranquility, a lady does not shine without her husband.”
