“एकेन च खो, भिक्खवे, बलेन समन्नागतो पुरिसो मातुगामं अभिभुय्य वत्तति। कतमेन एकेन बलेन? इस्सरियबलेन अभिभूतं मातुगामं नेव रूपबलं तायति, न भोगबलं तायति, न ञातिबलं तायति, न पुत्तबलं तायति, न सीलबलं तायती”ति।
“Ekena ca kho, bhikkhave, balena samannāgato puriso mātugāmaṁ abhibhuyya vattati. Katamena ekena balena? Issariyabalena abhibhūtaṁ mātugāmaṁ neva rūpabalaṁ tāyati, na bhogabalaṁ tāyati, na ñātibalaṁ tāyati, na puttabalaṁ tāyati, na sīlabalaṁ tāyatī”ti.
“Bhikkhus, when a man has one power he has a female under his mastery. What one power? The power of authority. Mastered by this, a female’s powers of attractiveness, wealth, relatives, children, and ethical behavior do not avail her.”
