She should be liberal towards her servants, and reward them on holidays and festivals; and not give away anything without first making it known to her husband.
Thus ends the manner of living of a virtuous woman.
During the absence of her husband on a journey the virtuous woman should wear only her auspicious ornaments, and observe the fasts in honour of the Gods.

While anxious to hear the news of her husband, she should still look after her household affairs.

She should sleep near the elder women of the house, and make herself agreeable to them.

She should look after and keep in repair the things that are liked by her husband, and continue the works that have been begun by him.

To the abode of her relations she should not go except on occasions of joy and sorrow, and then she should go in her usual travelling dress, accompanied by her husband's servants, and not remain there for a long time.
