My dear lord, I have just arranged this city of nine gates for you so that
you can have all kinds of sense gratification. You may live here for one
hundred years, and everything for your sense gratification will be supplied.

PURPORT

Dharmartha-kama-moksanam dharah samprapti-hetavah. The wife is the
cause of all kinds of success in religion, economic development, sense
gratification, and ultimately salvation. When one accepts a wife, it is to be
understood that he is being helped in his progressive march toward libera-
tion. In the beginning of life a person is trained as a brahmacari and is then
allowed to marry a suitable girl and become a householder. If one is
thoroughly trained in household life, he finds all facilities for human life—
eating, sleeping, mating and defending. Everything is there if it is executed
according to regulative principles.
