प्रब्रूत सत्यं करतो अङ्गनानां दोषो अस्ति यो नाचरितो मनुष्यैः । धार्ष्ट्येन पुम्भिः प्रमदा निरस्ता गुणाधिकास्ता मनुनाअत्र चौक्तम् ॥ ७४-०६ ॥

Is there any vice with which women are not charged by men? Speak the truth. Those that reject women do so out of a stupid firmness of mind. According to Manu, women possess more virtues than men.
