8.4.26

śakyaḥ kumāro mantripurohitābhyāṃ vārayitum, na subhagā bāliśyād anarthyajanasamyogāc ceti //

No, says Kautilya, it is possible to prevent through the minister and the priest, the oppression caused by the prince, but not the oppression caused by the favourite wife, since she is usually stubborn and keeps company with wicked persons.

R. Shamasastry 1915, Kautilya's Arthaśāstra
