Skanda Purana — Avanti Khanda, Shloka 61
ईश्वर उवाच । नास्ति सौख्यं च मूर्खेषु नास्ति सौख्यं च रोगिषु । पराधीनेन सौख्यं तु स्त्रीजिते च विशेषतः
īśvara uvāca | nāsti saukhyaṃ ca mūrkheṣu nāsti saukhyaṃ ca rogiṣu | parādhīnena saukhyaṃ tu strījite ca viśeṣataḥ
ಈಶ್ವರನು ಹೇಳಿದರು—ಮೂರ್ಖರಲ್ಲಿ ಸುಖವಿಲ್ಲ, ರೋಗಿಗಳಲ್ಲಿಯೂ ಸುಖವಿಲ್ಲ. ಪರಾಧೀನನಿಗೆ ಸುಖವಿಲ್ಲ—ವಿಶೇಷವಾಗಿ ಸ್ತ್ರೀಗೆ ಜಯಗೊಂಡವನಿಗೆ.
