1.3.111
ājñāsaṃpādinīm ādeśakāriṇīm, dakṣāṃ śīghrakāriṇīm, vīrasūṃ putravatīm, priyavādinīṃ madhurabhāṣiṇīṃ yas tyajaty adhivindati sa rājñā svadhanasya tṛtīyāṃśaṃ dāpyaḥ | nirdhanas tu bharaṇaṃ grāsāccādanādi dāpyaḥ || 1.76 ||
One who abandons—meaning supersedes—a wife who obeys commands, that is, executes orders; is skillful, that is, swift in action; bears heroic sons, that is, has male offspring; and speaks pleasantly, that is, speaks sweetly, shall be compelled by the king to give a third part of his own wealth. But if he is destitute, he shall be compelled to provide maintenance, such as food and clothing.
