नातन्त्री वाद्यते वीणा नाचक्रो विद्यते रथः। नापतिः सुखमेधेत या स्यादपि शतात्मजा ॥
nātantrī vādyate vīṇā nācakro vidyate rathaḥ| nāpatiḥ sukhamedheta yā syādapi śatātmajā ||
English Meaning
The Viņā without strings does not sound; and the car without wheels does not move, so although having an hundred sons, a woman without her husband cannot attain happiness.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
