मातु पिता भ्राता हितकारी। मितप्रद सब सुनु राजकुमारी॥ अमित दानि भर्ता बयदेही। अधम सो नारि जो सेव न तेही॥ ३ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
mātu pitā bhrātā hitakārī। mitaprada saba sūnu rājakumārī॥ amita dāni bhartā bayadehī। adhama so nāri jo seva na tehī॥ 3 ॥
Meaning
O princess, listen: mother, father, and brother are all benefactors, but only up to a limit. O Janaki, the husband is the giver of limitless blessing. Low indeed is the woman who does not serve such a husband.
