स्त्रीरत्नभोगो अस्ति नरस्य यस्य निस्वो अपि साम्प्रत्यवनीस्वरो असौ । राज्यस्य सारो अशनं अङ्गनाश्च तृष्णानलौद्दीपनदारु शेषम् ॥ ७४-१७ ॥

A person who is fortunate enough to have an excellent wife, though he might be poor, appears to me as happy as a king. The main pleasures of a king are women and good meals. These serve as sticks to increase the fire of his desires.
