AN8_17: Paṭhamabandhanasutta

Paṭhamabandhanasutta - translated by Bhikkhu Bodhi

“Bhikkhus, a woman binds a man in eight ways. What eight? A woman binds a man by her form … by her smile … by her speech … by singing an.iv.197 … by weeping … by her appearance … by a present … by her touch. A woman binds a man in these eight ways. Those beings are thoroughly bound who are bound by touch.”
