2.1.18
sātatyād yuvatir ārambhāt prabhṛti bhāvam adhigacchati. puruṣaḥ punar anta eva. etad upapannataram. na hy a:satyāṃ bhāva-prāptau garbha-saṃbhava iti bābhravīyāḥ.
The followers of Babhravya, however, say that the semen of women continues to fall from the beginning of the sexual union to its end, and it is right that it should be so, for if they had no semen there would be no embryo.
