kiṃ cānyat --- anyonyavṛttayaś ca guṇāḥ | anyonyasya vṛttiṃ janayanti | yathā kācit strī nayavinayavilāsalīlāvatī bhartur ātmano bandhuvargasya ca prītiṃ janayati | saiva sapatnīṣu duḥkhamohau janayati | evaṃ sattvena strībhūtena rajasas tamasaś ca vṛttir janitā | evam anyeṣv api yojyam //

Moreover: the constituents function mutually; they produce each other's functioning. Just as a certain woman, possessing prudence, modesty, charm, and grace, produces pleasure in her husband and in her own circle of kin, yet that very same woman produces suffering and delusion in her co-wives; thus, through sattva in the form of the woman, the functioning of rajas and tamas is produced. The same should be applied in other instances as well. // 12
