भार्यापि मे खो सदृशा हि सत्कृता कल्याणधर्मा च पतिव्रता च ।
प्रहाय स्वकुलं धीतरा च करोति श्रद्धां पुन कुम्भकाशिये ॥ ४७ ॥
bhāryāpi me kho sadṛśā hi satkṛtā kalyāṇadharmā ca pativratā ca |
prahāya svakulaṃ dhītarā ca karoti śraddhāṃ puna kumbhakāśiye || 47 ||
“His wife may be of high degree, honourable, chaste and devoted, but yet a man may leave her, daughter of a good family though she be, and put his faith in a slave-girl. (47)
