She treads in sin's forbidden ways.

She to her husband's will who bends,

Goes to high bliss that never ends,

Yea, though the Gods have found in her

No reverential worshipper.

Bent on his weal, a woman still

Must seek to do her husband's will:

For Scripture, custom, law uphold

This duty Heaven revealed of old.

Honour true Bráhmans for my sake,
