पाणिग्राहस्य साध्वी स्त्री जीवतो वा मृतस्य वा । पतिलोकम् अभीप्सन्ती न-आचरेत् किं चिद् अप्रियम् ॥
pāṇigrāhasya sādhvī strī jīvato vā mṛtasya vā | patilokam abhīpsantī na-ācaret kiṃ cid a.priyam ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
A faithful wife, who desires to dwell (after death) with her husband, must never do anything that might displease him who took her hand, whether he be alive or dead.
Translated by Georg BühlerFrom an unproofread scan of the printed edition; spelling and line breaks may carry OCR errors.
