स्त्रिया तथैव स कथं दयितः प्रार्थ्यते स्वयम् ।
संकल्परचितानेतान्भावानापतभासुरान् ॥ ४६ ॥

striyā tathaiva sa kathaṃ dayitaḥ prārthyate svayam |
saṃkalparacitānetānbhāvānāpatabhāsurān || 46 ||

As a wife that requires her husband, refrains from asking petty things of him; so should you refrain from asking of trifling blessings from thy God, if thou dost require thy communion with him. And know the objects of thy desire, are not always for thy good.
