Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 1 - Verse 24

Sanskrit:

भर्तु: शुश्रूषणं स्त्रीणां परो धर्मो ह्यमायया ।तद्बन्धूनां च कल्याण: प्रजानां चानुपोषणम् ॥ २४ ॥

ITRANS:

bhartuḥ śuśrūṣaṇaṁ strīṇāṁparo dharmo hy amāyayātad-bandhūnāṁ ca kalyāṇaḥprajānāṁ cānupoṣaṇam

Translation:

The highest religious duty for a woman is to sincerely serve her husband, behave well toward her husband’s family and take good care of her children.

Purport:

Śrīla Jīva Gosvāmī astutely points out here that the gopīs’ real, eternal husband is Lord Kṛṣṇa, not their so-called husbands at home, who falsely considered the gopīs their property. Thus a strict interpretation of the word amāyayā, “without illusion,” reveals that the supreme religious duty for the gopīs is to serve Śrī Kṛṣṇa, their real lover.
