Verse 345:
The wise do not say that bonds made of iron, of wood, and of hemp are strong bonds;
they say that only passionate attachment to and care for gems and jewelry, children and wives are strong bonds.
Verse 346:
These drag one down (to lower planes of existence) and
although they seem yielding, are difficult to release.
The wise, cutting off this bond (of craving) and
resolutely giving up sensual pleasures, renounce the world.
