5.4.61
bālāṃ vā paricārikām a:doṣa-jñām a:duṣṭenopāyena prahiṇuyāt. tatra sraji karṇapattre vā gūḍha-lekha-nidhānaṃ nakha-daśana-padam vā sā mūka-dūtī[7]. tasyās tayaiva pratyuttara-prārthanam.
(7) When a man sends a girl or a female servant to any woman under some pretext or other, and places a letter in her bouquet of flowers, or in her ear ornaments, or marks something about her with his teeth or nails, that girl or female servant is called a mute go-between. In this case the man should expect an answer from the woman through the same person.
