SN1_72: Rathasutta

Rathasutta - translated by Bhikkhu Bodhi

“What is the token of a chariot?
What, the token of a fire?
What is the token of a country?
What, the token of a woman?” sn.i.42

“A standard is the token of a chariot;
Smoke, the token of a fire;
The king is a country’s token;
A husband, the token of a woman.”
