रूपयौवनलावण्यं नारीणां पुरुषं विना । मूलबन्धमहाबन्धौ महावेधं विना तथा ॥३-२१॥

sanskrit

Just as without a man, a woman's beauty (beautiful complexion), youth (youth) and beauty (adorable beauty) have no importance, that is, without a man all this is meaningless. Similarly, without Mahavedha Mudra, Moolabandha and Mahabandha have no importance, that is, practicing Moolabandha and Mahabandha without Mahavedha is meaningless.
