“Mendicants, by means of one power a man lives having mastered a lady.“Ekena ca kho, bhikkhave, balena samannāgato puriso mātugāmaṁ abhibhuyya vattati. By means of what one power?Katamena ekena balena? When a lady has been mastered by the power of authority, her powers of attractiveness, wealth, relatives, children, and ethical behavior do not avail her.”Issariyabalena abhibhūtaṁ mātugāmaṁ neva rūpabalaṁ tāyati, na bhogabalaṁ tāyati, na ñātibalaṁ tāyati, na puttabalaṁ tāyati, na sīlabalaṁ tāyatī”ti.
