8.18. Bondage (2)
āBhikkhus, a man binds a woman in eight ways. What eight? A man binds a woman by his form ⦠by his smile ⦠by his speech ⦠by singing ⦠by weeping ⦠by his appearance ⦠by a present ⦠by his touch. A man binds a woman in these eight ways. Those beings are thoroughly bound who are bound by touch.ā
