Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 1 - Verse 7


Sanskrit:

यद‍ृच्छयोपपन्नेन वर्तमानो गृहाश्रमी ।तस्य भार्या कुचैलस्य क्षुत्क्षामा च तथाविधा ॥ ७ ॥

ITRANS:

yadṛcchayopapannenavartamāno gṛhāśramītasya bhāryā ku-cailasyakṣut-kṣāmā ca tathā-vidhā

Translation:

Living as a householder, he maintained himself with whatever came of its own accord. The wife of that poorly dressed brāhmaṇa suffered along with him and was emaciated from hunger.

Purport:

Sudāmā’s chaste wife was also poorly dressed, and whatever food she obtained she gave to her husband. Thus she remained fatigued from hunger.
