Here the wife shows concern not only for the child's body but for her upbringing in dharma. It is telling that she is anxious about the daughter's "virtues": a life without instruction in good conduct seems to her deficient — a mother worries about the child's soul no less than about its sustenance. Here is the height of parental duty: to nourish is not enough; the child must be brought into dharma, given the path of the ancestors. Telling too is her humility: she acknowledges that her husband, who "perceives dharma," would instruct the daughter better than she could. Thus the text shows that true care for children is care for their righteousness; and in this the wife sees yet another reason why the husband is more needed by the family than she is.
