तां तथा रुदतीं रामोऽरुदन् वचनमब्रवीत्॥ जीवन्त्या हि स्त्रिया भर्ता दैवतं प्रभुरेव च। भवत्या मम चैवाद्य राजा प्रभवति प्रभुः॥
tāṃ tathā rudatīṃ rāmo'rudan vacanamabravīt|| jīvantyā hi striyā bhartā daivataṃ prabhureva ca| bhavatyā mama caivādya rājā prabhavati prabhuḥ||
English Meaning
Rāma, suppressing his feeling, spoke to his mother who was lamenting, thus, saying:, Husband is the deity and master of the wife as long as she lives; so the monarch being the lord can deal with you and me in any way he likes.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
