स्त्रियो व्रतैस्त्वा हृषीकेश्वरं स्वतो ह्याराध्य लोके पतिमाशासतेऽन्यम् । तासां न ते वै परिपान्त्यपत्यं प्रियं धनायूंषि यतोऽस्वतन्त्रा: ॥ १९ ॥
striyo vratais tvā hṛṣīkeśvaraṁ svato hy ārādhya loke patim āśāsate ’nyam tāsāṁ na te vai paripānty apatyaṁ priyaṁ dhanāyūṁṣi yato ’sva-tantrāḥ
My dear Lord, You are certainly the fully independent master of all the senses. Therefore all women who worship You by strictly observing vows because they wish to acquire a husband to satisfy their senses are surely under illusion. They do not know that such a husband cannot actually give protection to them or their children. Nor can he protect their wealth or duration of life, for he himself is dependent on time, fruitive results and the modes of nature, which are all subordinate to You.
