The Shruti declares that women are gifted with the most powerful senses that they have no scriptures to follow, and that they are living lies. Beds, seats, ornaments, food and drink and the absence of all that is respectable and righteous, indulgence in disagreeable words, and love of sexual companionship these were bestowed by Brahman upon women. Men are quite unable to restrain them within limits.
निरिन्द्रिया ह्यशास्त्राश्च स्त्रियोऽनृतमिति श्रुतिः। शय्यासनमलंकारमन्नपानमनार्यताम्॥ दुर्वाग्भावं रतिं चैव ददौ स्त्रीभ्यः प्रजापतिः। न तासां रक्षणं शक्यं कर्तुं पुंसा कथंचन॥ अपि विश्वकृता तात कुतस्तु पुरुषैरिह।
