5.3.7
abhiyuktāpi pariharati na ca saṃsṛjyate. na ca pratyācaṣṭe. tasminn ātmani ca gauravābhimānāt. sātiparicayāt kṛcchra-sādhyā. marma-jñayā dūtyā tāṃ sādhayet.
When a woman avoids the attentions of a man, and on account of respect for him, and pride in herself, will not meet him or approach him, she can be gained over with difficulty, either by endeavoring to keep on familiar terms with her, or else by an exceedingly clever go-between.
