Verse 10·VR 2.67.10

न अराजके जन पदे बीज मुष्टिः प्रकीर्यते | न अराकके पितुः पुत्रः भार्या वा वर्तते वशे || २-६७-१०

araajake dhanam na asti na asti bhaaryaa api araajake | idam atyaahitam ca anyat kutaH satyam araajake || 2-67-11

Translation

"Even a fist of seeds are not disbursed in a ruler- less land. In anarchy, even a son is not amenable to the control of a father nor a wife in the authority of her husband."
