स्त्रीणामार्यस्वभावानां परमं दैवतं पतिः ।
नातो विशिष्टं पश्यामि बांधवं विमृशंत्यहम् ॥

- रामायण, अयोध्या

strINAm aaryasvabhAvAnAm paramam daivatam patiH ।
nAto vishiShTam pashyAmi bAndhavam vimRushanti aham ॥

- ramAyaNa, ayodhyA

A wife with good culture will treat her husband no less than God. I have analyzed in many ways. There is no one more intimate to a wife than her husband - not even God.

- Ramayana, Ayodhya

रामायण - अयोध्या - पतिः

न पिता नात्मजो नात्मा न माता न सखीजनः ।
इह प्रेत्य च नारीणां पतिरेको गतिः सदा ॥

- रामायण, अयोध्या

na pitA na Atmajo na AtmA na mAtA na sakhIjanaH ।
iha pretya cha nArINAM patireko gatiH sadA ॥

- rAmAyaNa, ayodhyA

Be it in this world or the afterlife, a lady can only depend on her man for anything - not father, not siblings, not herself, not mother and not her friends.

- Ramayana, Ayodhya
