Verse 37·VR 4.24.37
यत् च अपि मन्येत भवान् महात्मा स्त्री घात दोषः तु भवेन् न मह्यम् | आत्मा इयम् अस्य इति हि माम् जहि त्वम् न स्त्री वधः स्यात् मनुजेन्द्र पुत्र || ४-२४-३७

Translation
"Oh, prince, as a high souled one even if you think that, "sin of killing a female will not befall on me?" But deem me as his soul, as scriptures say that the wife is the soul of husband, and hence kill me, then there will not be any blemish of woman killing. [4-24-37]
