Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 1 - Verse 31


Sanskrit:

अयं हि परमो लाभो गृहेषु गृहमेधिनाम् ।यन्नर्मैरीयते याम: प्रियया भीरु भामिनि ॥ ३१ ॥

ITRANS:

ayaṁ hi paramo lābhogṛheṣu gṛha-medhināmyan narmair īyate yāmaḥpriyayā bhīru bhāmini

Translation:

The greatest pleasure worldly householders can enjoy at home is to spend time joking with their beloved wives, My dear timid and temperamental one.

Purport:

The word bhāmini indicates an angry, passionate, temperamental woman. Since lovely Rukmiṇī did not become angry despite all provocation, the Lord is still speaking facetiously.
