If she will not consent to him, let him try to win her over with a gift; if even then she will not consent, let him, touching her with a staff or with his hand, overstep [the custom] with the words: "By strength and by glory I take away your glory" — and she becomes inglorious…

A verse that honesty allows neither to be discarded nor to be prettified: a wife's refusal is met here first with a gift and then with compulsion and a spell. This is the voice of an ancient patriarchal law in which the marital duty was conceived as a ritual obligation — and the tradition itself corrected that voice: the dharma-śāstras and the canon of bhakti established the way of consent, not of spells; the Bhāgavatam makes mutual devotion, not power, the measure of marriage.
The reader ought to see the historical stratum in the verse — and to hear the movement of the Veda itself: the very next verse gives preference to a mutual love in which "both become glorious". The canon grows like a tree: this knot is evidence of the trunk, not a model to follow; what is eternal in it is only the principle of the seriousness of union — everything else has been healed by the later light of the same tradition.
