About the Nari Subhashita Collection
The nari (woman) category collects subhashitas that honour womanhood and the dignity of women in Indian tradition. The most famous of these is the verse that says where women are honoured, the gods rejoice; where they are not, even the noblest deeds bear no fruit.
These shlokas celebrate the mother, the wife and the daughter, and insist that a society's health is inseparable from the respect it shows to its women. The verses also remind us of the practical wisdom of the household, where the lady of the home makes a house into a home. This collection is meaningful for school discussions on gender and respect, and for families honouring the women in their lives. Each verse includes the Devanagari text, IAST transliteration and translations in English, Hindi and Bengali.
The verses gathered under nari honour the place of women in Indian culture and the ideals of respect that protect family and society. They describe the dignity of the mother, the wisdom of the wife and the strength of women who hold households and communities together. At the same time, the collection presents these ideals as they appear in the classical texts, inviting thoughtful reading rather than blind acceptance. These subhashitas are used in school essays, women's group meetings and family discussions, and the site's trilingual meanings make them accessible to every reader.
