Padmapurana

न भार्यया समं मित्रं न च धर्मो दयासमः ।
न स्वातन्त्र्यसमं सौख्यं गार्हस्थ्यान्नाश्रमो वरः ॥


na bhaaryayaa samam mitram na ca dharmo dayaasamah |
na svaatantryasamam saukhyam gaarhasthyaannaashramo varah ||

Das Eheweib kann dir kein Freund ersetzen, das Mitleid keine Religion.
Kein Wohlstand ersetzt die Freiheit dir, und kein Stadium reicht an das des Haushälters heran.

    First two paadams are given the opposite meaning.
