*****************************
Why do I publish 1000 proverbs on women collected from different cultures? This is to teach a lesson to the Anti Manu Smrti idiots in the universities. Millions of women were burnt alive during the witch hunting by Christians. But the world knows only one Joan of Arc. In the whole wide world, greatest Tamil poet Bharati is the only one who never criticised women but praised them sky-high. Next comes Manu Smriti.
Here is what Manu says:
यत्र नार्यस्तु पूज्यन्ते रमन्ते तत्र देवताः ।
यत्रैतास्तु न पूज्यन्ते सर्वास्तत्राफलाः क्रियाः ॥ ५६ ॥
yatra nāryastu pūjyante ramante tatra devatāḥ |
yatraitāstu na pūjyante sarvāstatrāphalāḥ kriyāḥ || 56 ||
Where women are honoured, there the gods rejoice; where, on the other hand, they are not honoured, there all rites are fruitless.—(56)
****
शोचन्ति जामयो यत्र विनश्यत्याशु तत् कुलम् ।
न शोचन्ति तु यत्रैता वर्धते तद् हि सर्वदा ॥ ५७ ॥
śocanti jāmayo yatra vinaśyatyāśu tat kulam |
na śocanti tu yatraitā vardhate tad hi sarvadā || 57 ||
Where the female relations live in grief, the family soon wholly perishes; but that family where they are not unhappy ever prospers.—(57)
****
जामयो यानि गेहानि शपन्त्यप्रतिपूजिताः ।
तानि कृत्याहतानीव विनश्यन्ति समन्ततः ॥ ५८ ॥
jāmayo yāni gehāni śapantyapratipūjitāḥ |
tāni kṛtyāhatānīva vinaśyanti samantataḥ || 58 ||
The houses on which female relations, not being duly honoured, pronounce a curse, perish completely, as if destroyed by magic.—(58)
****
तस्मादेताः सदा पूज्या भूषणाच्छादनाशनैः ।
भूतिकामैर्नरैर्नित्यं सत्कारेषूत्सवेषु च ॥ ५९ ॥
tasmādetāḥ sadā pūjyā bhūṣaṇācchādanāśanaiḥ |
bhūtikāmairnarairnityaṃ satkāreṣūtsaveṣu ca || 59 ||
Hence men who seek (their own) welfare, should always honour women on holidays and festivals with (gifts of) ornaments, clothes, and (dainty) food.—(59)
(Manu also said women’s all body parts are always pure)
