Quiet simply put, it means that both an iron chain and a silken cord could be an effective means of binding someones hands as applies to the tense of being bound, therefore both are equally refereed to as bonds, as they both equally get the job done and can be referred to as both being equal in their function of being bonds.
I hope that made sense to you but it could have been more easily understandable if stated as "An iron chain and a silken cord although of vastly different composition, can be accurately described as being equal in their ability to bond ones hands therefore they can both be equally referred to as bonds.

It means that whether your tied with an iron chain or a silken cord that you won't be free in a hard or soft way. There is still no way out until that bond is broken.

For example:
A man who is shackled to a wall is just as much a prisoner as the Ottoman princes who were permanently kept in a secluded section of the palace - the Prince might be better taken care of, and have a life of luxury, but they're still a prisoner.

A prison is still a prison, no matter how nicely it is constructed.
Tell this to the American public when they are complaining about the "luxurious" accommodations of prisoners in the United States. How little some people understand about the dynamics of freedom.

There are different types of prisons, being in a conventional jail is only one type. A person can be constrained politically, financially, through social class, etc.

It means that love can be as strong a bond as hate. You can be held (bonded) in a relationship with someone you love just as strongly as with an enemy.

It means that people can be stuck in a situation through both outright imprisonment and through their own sense of moral judgement.

Each can be used to fasten one thing to another. That is a bond.
