“ Dusheela Kaamavrutho va Dhanairva parivarjithaha
Sthreenam Aarthaswabhaavaanam paramam deivatham pathihi
Kimpunaryo gunaslagyaha saanukroshaha Jithendriyaha
Sthiraanuraago Dharmaathma Mathruvathpithruvathpriyaha”
A chaste woman is always focussed on serving her husband.
Very noble women believe they serve their husband in this world and the outer.
A wife shares in her husband’s happiness
and sorrow. She consoles her husband in sorrow. As an example Sita comes along
with Rama during his exile and serves him there too. She shares his sorrow.
Sri Rama
sent away Bharatha with his paduka. After Bharatha left Rama also left
Chitrakoota. Rama heard of the difficulties the sages were experiencing due to
Kara and Dhushana. He left Chitrakuta with the aim of helping theses sages. He
came to the ashrama of Athri who showered his affection on Rama. Anasuya
happily welcomed Sita. Both were highly chaste women. Only a noble lady can
truly undersatnad the high mindedness of another chaste woman. Hence Anasuya
appreciated Sita’s chastity. Anasuya said “ whether a husband is of good
character or not, whether he is rich or not he is truly a Lord for a wife. Your
devotion towards your husband is truly appreciable. You followed him even in
exile, thus she extole Sita.
Sita replied” Who will
not love Rama? He is full of virtues. He is full of compassion. He has
controlled his senses. He loves all. He is a righteous man. He loves me too.
Who will not love such a person? “ Anasuya praised Sita for following Rama to
the forest. Sita inturn surrenedered the praise too at the feet of Rama and
said “ he is the reason for me being so’.
