The ideal love and harmony between the husband the the wife have been beautifully described by Bhavabhūti. The dearest friend, the essence of all kinship, the fulfilment of all desires, a veritable treasure, the very life itself,—all these is a husband to the wife and vice versa³. Their love is uniform both in prosperity and adversity, and adjusts itself to surrounding circumstances; it affords the best solace to each other’s heart; old age does not diminish its flavour; when the veil of reserve drops down in course of time, it develops into an ever-abiding affection⁴.
