Duties of husband and wife

Karyeshu Yogi, Karaneshu Daksha, Rupecha Krishna, Kshamayathu Rama, Bojyeshu Truptha, Sukhadukkha Mitra, Shatkarmayuktha, Khalu Darmanatha

He who works like a yogi (with detachment from happiness or distress/ success or failure, dualities); who is expert in accomplishing an act or he who is efficient in duties; whose beautiful form is equal to Lord Krsna; Forbearance like that of Lord Rama; satisfied with the meal offered; who is like a friend, always taking part in happiness and distress; engaged in six religious duties; He is dharmanatha, the lord of righteousness. Upholder of dharma

In the scriptures it is stated, ṣaṭ-karma-nipuṇo vipro mantra-tantra-viśāradaḥ. A qualified brāhmaṇa must be expert in the occupational duties of a brāhmaṇa. His duties are mentioned as six brahminical engagements. Paṭhana means that a brāhmaṇa must be conversant with the Vedic scriptures. He must also be able to teach others to study the Vedic literatures. This is pāṭhana. He must also be expert in worshiping different deities and in performing the Vedic rituals (yajana). On account of this yajana, the brāhmaṇa, being the head of society, performs all the Vedic rituals for kṣatriyas, vaiśyas and śūdras. This is called yājana, assisting others in performing ceremonies. The remaining two items are dāna and pratigraha. The brāhmaṇa accepts all kinds of contributions (pratigraha) from his followers (namely, the kṣatriyas, vaiśyas and śūdras). But he does not keep all the money. He keeps only as much as required and gives the balance to others in charity (dāna). CC Madhya 4.87, Purport.

 ‘Karyeshu Dasi, Karaneshu Manthri; Bhojeshu Mata, Shayaneshu Rambha, Roopeshu lakshmi, Kshamayeshu Dharitri, Shat dharmayukta, Kuladharma Pathni’.

A woman who works like a servant, advises like a minister, feeds like a mother, gives sexual pleasure like a heavenly women Rambha, whose beautiful form like that of Goddess Lakshmi, whose patience is equal to earth. A woman who is engaged in these six duties is considered as good housewife of a family. She is a partaker of religion.
