200 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 9, Ch. 14

ajriesu—unto the foolish men; tyakta-sauhrdah—who have given up the
company of well-wishers; navam—new; navam—new; abhipsantyah—
desiring; pumscalyah—women very easily allured by other men;
svaira—independently; vrttayah—professional.

TRANSLATION

Women are very easily seduced by men. Therefore, polluted
women give up the friendship of a man who is their well-wisher
and establish false friendship among fools. Indeed, they seek
newer and newer friends, one after another.

PURPORT

Because women are easily seduced, the Manu-samhitd enjoins that
they should not be given freedom. A woman must always be protected,
either by her father, by her husband, or by her elderly son. If women are
given freedom to mingle with men like equals, which they now claim to
be, they cannot keep their propriety. The nature of a woman, as per-
sonally described by Urvasi, is to establish false friendship with someone
and then seek new male companions, one after another, even if this
means giving up the company of a sincere well-wisher.
