Sanskrit Text

नास्ति यज्ञः स्त्रियः कश्चिन्न श्राद्धं नोपवासकम् धर्मस्तु भर्तृशुश्रूषा तया स्वर्गं जयत्युत

English Translation

Women have no sacrifices ordained for them. There are no Shraddhas which they are called upon to perform. They are not required to observe any fasts. To serve their husbands wish respect and willing obedience from their only duty. Through the satisfaction of that duty they succeed in conquering Heaven.
