वैदेहि Sita, अहम् I, सर्वत्र all over, विमृशन्ती reflecting, कृतम् performed, अव्ययम् imperishable, योग्यम् befitting, तपः इव like austerities, अतः more than husband, विशिष्टम् better, बान्धवम् relation, न पश्यामि I do not see.

O Sita, on reflection I know of none who is a better friend than the husband. He, like an imperishable penance, once acquired is never lost.
