sadaivāhaṃ na māmevamuparoddhuṃ tvamarhasi /
aśaktamupakārāya śaktamārādhayasva bhoḥ //

“Ever indeed am I an object of reproach for my enjoyment of spirituous liquor and other bodily pleasures, and an object of reproach for this enjoyment in that I have my wife here by my side.[1] Deign thou not thus to obstruct me who am unable to benefit thee; O conciliate one who is able.”
