Obligated to provide, display, or do something for another; indebted, obliged for a bounden duty.
From an early age, I had decided I wanted to be beholden to no one.
From Middle English biholden (“beholden, obligated”), past participle of biholden (“to behold, look at”, modern behold), though that verb does not mean "to bind, obligate".
