2.4.28
cirosṛṣṭeṣu rāgeṣu prītir gacchet parābhavam. rāgāyatana-saṃsmāri yadi na syān nakha-kṣatam..
"The love of a woman who sees the marks of nails on the private parts of her body, even though they are old and almost worn out, becomes again fresh and new. If there be no marks of nails to remind a person of the passages of love, then love is lessened in the same way as when no union takes place for a long time."
