1"Bhikkhus, when a man possesses one power, he abides with a woman under his control. What is that one power? The power of authority. When a woman has been overcome by the power of authority, neither the power of beauty can rescue her, nor the power of wealth, nor the power of relatives, nor the power of sons, nor the power of virtue." sn.iv.247
1"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.
Catutthaṁ.
