Viṣṇusmṛti · Chapter 25
25.15
nāsti strīṇāṃ pṛthagyajño na vrataṃ nāpy upoṣitam
patiṃ śuśrūṣate yat tu tena svarge mahīyate //
25.16
patyau jīvati yā yoṣid upavāsavrataṃ caret
āyuḥ sā harate bhartur narakaṃ caiva gacchati //
25.17
mṛte bhartari sādhvī strī brahmacarye vyavasthitā
svargaṃ gacchaty aputrāpi yathā te brahmacāriṇaḥ //
