કજિયાખોર સ્ત્રીની સાથે વિશાળ ઘરમાં રહેવા કરતાં અગાશીના એક ખૂણામાં રહેવું વધારે સારું છે.
हिन्दीनीतिवचन २१:९
लम्बे-चौड़े घर में झगड़ालू पत्नी के संग रहने से, छत के कोने पर रहना उत्तम है।

In context

7The violence of the wicked will drive them away, because they refuse to do what is right.

8The way of the guilty is devious, but the conduct of the innocent is upright.

9It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop than to share a house with a contentious woman.

10The soul of the wicked desires evil; his neighbor finds no mercy in his eyes.

11When the mocker is punished, the simple gains wisdom. When the wise is instructed, he receives knowledge.
