1. Dishonesty, rashness, cunningness, foolishness, selfishness, uncleanliness and brutality are a woman's seven natural faults.
2. Ability to eat when food is ready at hand, to be strong and virile in the company of his wife, and to have a bent of mind towards making charity when one is prosperous are the fruits of no ordinary penance.
3. Whose son is obedient to him, whose wife's behavior is in accordance with his desires, and who is contented with his assets, has the paradise on the Earth.
4. The son who is dutiful to his father, the father who support his sons, the friend whom one can confide, a wife in whose company the husband feels contented and peaceful are actually deserved to be called as son, father, friend, and wife respectively.
