13. Hiuen-tsang says, "For ages woman has been the ruler, and so it is called 'the kingdom of the women'. The husband of the reigning woman is called king: but he knows nothing about the affairs of the state. The men manage the wars and sow the land, and that is all." See our remarks on Strirājya, above, p. 66.
