श्रिय एताः स्त्रियो नाम सत्कार्या भूतिमिच्छता लालिता निगृहीता स्त्री श्रीर्भवति भारत

English Translation

Women are deities of prosperity. The person that desires affluence and prosperity should honour them. By cherishing women, O Bharata, one cherishes the goddess of prosperity herself, and by afflicting her, one is said to pain the goddess of prosperity.
