17(7)Bondage(1)
"Bhikkhus,a woman binds a man in eight ways.
What eight?
A woman binds a man by weeping,
...by her smile
...by her speech
...by appearance [197]
...by a present,
Vanabhangena.Lit.,"by what is broken [from]the woods."Mp:"By a present,such as flowers or fruits,which are taken from the woods and brought to him."
...by her appearance
...by taste,
...by touch.
I translate on the basis of Ce and Ee.Be,in this sutta and the next,has a different eight means of binding,occurring in a different sequence,namely:by weeping,by a smile,by speech,by appearance,by a present,by scent,by taste,by touch (runnena,hasitena,bhanitena,akappena,vanabhangena,gandhena,rasena,phassena).Thus,apart from the change of sequence,Be replaces"form"and"singing"of Ce and Ee with"scent"and "taste."According to Mp,"appearance"(akappa)means"the manner of dressing and so forth,"but this may be too narrow.The Chinese parallel at EAⅡ765c24-766a2 lists nine ways a woman binds a man:by singing;dancing,her skills,her touch,her smile,weeping,an expedient means,beautifying her face and body,and her appearance and deportment.
A woman binds a man in these eight ways.
Those beings are thoroughly bound who are bound by touch."
I read with Ce and Be subaddha yeva phassena baddha.Ee has a variant reading here and in the next sutta:subaddha yeva pasena baddha,"[they are]thoroughly bound who are bound by a snare."
