साहं त्वदर्थे संप्राप्ता त्वं तु मां नावबुध्यसे। सपत्निवृद्धौ या मे त्वं प्रदेयं दातुमर्हसि ॥

sāhaṃ tvadarthe saṃprāptā tvaṃ tu māṃ nāvabudhyase| sapatnivṛddhau yā me tvaṃ pradeyaṃ dātumarhasi ||

English Meaning

You do not understand that I am taking such pains, and it is evident that you does not understand that I have come to you for your good. You are conferring on me rewards on the advancement of your co-wife.
