Jai Sri Ram.
Virtues of a devoted dAmpathya vis-vis Pathi-Patni dharma:
Anasuya appreciating Seetha for Her chosing to accompany Rama during exile explains virtues-woman as the one:
1. Who is dear to their husband no matter whether he is sinful or otherwise, wealthy or devoid of riches,
2. Who look upon husband as a friend and protector,
3. Who is clear as to what is virtue and vice and are submissive to their husband,
4. Who take prosperity and adversity in their strides with detachment and
5. Who is loyal and honest to their husband to the end.
Marital relation is essentially for the treaking of dharma by the husband and the wife his accomplice, apart from they being the procreators of proginy. Either of them deviating from this set goal ultimately will be de-touring their journey, like a ship off course without a steward.
Sita concurred with Anusuya saying "no austerity I ever eschew in being obedient to my husband, as was decreed by my parents during marriage witnessed by fire". Sita as though concerned said that Rama is full of virtues and thus She had no occasion to prove Her honesty in their absence. Such meritorious women are honored in heaven, blessed Anusuya wishing that every thing get fulfilled to Her.
As desired by Sita there was an occasion when Rama was un-kind and banished Her to the forest for the sake of an accusation by a dhobi of Her chastity. Still She remained faithful and honest to Rama and entered earth's crest after giving birth to Lav and Kush, at the end proving so.
Devotion that comes on account of good manners and attributes is of less significance than the one that comes naturally of being wedded husband and wife or the Lord and His subjects. Swaroopa kruta dAsyam vies great against guNa kruta dAsyam in this respect for the same reason.
