भर्तारम् nourisher, वरदम् bestower of boons, पतिम् your husband, दशरथम् Dasaratha, मावमंस्थाः do not insult, नारीणाम् for women, भर्तुः husband, इच्छा desire, पुत्रकोट्याः of ten million sons, विशिष्यते is of greater value.
English Commentary
Do not have contempt for Dasaratha who is your husband, nourisher and bestower of boons. For a wife, the desire of her husband is considered worthier than ten million sons.
