In plain words
There are not many bad qualities. There is only one! That one, at a single stroke, brings many kinds of calamity on a man, however rich he may be. However great his power of tapas, it changes him all at once. Even the man of all power it throws down in a moment. Throughout Bhārata, in the home of every man of Bhārata, the Rāmāyaṇa, the Bhārata and the Bhāgavata shine as eternal truths; everyone must turn back and look at the authorities they hold. Rāvaṇa's power cannot be described as this or that. Rāvaṇa had mastered the sixty-four branches of learning. Rāvaṇa was a man of great power. He was the one who seized the chariot of his brother Kubera and defeated him. He was rich in great tapas. It brought Rāvaṇa, who had such strength and ability, down to ruin in a single moment. What was it? Greed. What did this Rāvaṇa lack? Why must he crave desires that ought not to be craved? Where did this man's Jñāna go? Where did this man's power of tapas go? Because this greed was in him, he fell to ruin. Not only did he fall himself, he reduced his own kingdom to ashes as well. Then Hiraṇyakaśipu. There was no power in anyone else that was not in him. A great scientist. All the scientists of today together have not come to know even a hundredth part of what was in him. He held the five elements in his hand. Hiraṇyakaśipu, who had such strength and ability, fell in the end through hatred of Hari. Duryodhana was one who knew great statecraft. He had all the strength of arm, strength of intellect and strength of wealth he could need. With all these, what was the use? Covetousness alone brought him to ruin. What do these histories teach man? They teach that greed is not good. Desires there must be; we must experience, we must enjoy? But when desire goes beyond the limit, it brings loss of reason. Many women have striven hard to set such husbands, whose desire went beyond the limit, on the right path, give them right teaching and shape them into right human beings.
When the husband turns wicked and is about to come to harm, laying the good and the bad before him like a minister, women, to teach the husband what is good for him, should ever walk on this earth as Maṇḍodarī did.
