2.10.31
atikruddhāpi tu na dvāradeśād bhūyo gacchet/ doṣavattvāt/ iti dattakaḥ/ tatra yuktito 'nunīyamānā prasādam ākāṅkṣet/ prasannāpi tu sakaṣāyair eva vākyair enaṃ tudatīva prasannaratikāṅkṣiṇī nāyakena parirabhyeta//
At this time, the lover should attempt to reconcile her with conciliatory words, and should take her up carefully and place her on her bed. But she, not replying to his questions, and with increased anger, should bend down his head by pulling his hair, and having kicked him once, twice, or thrice on his arms, head, bosom or back, should then proceed to the door of the room. Dattaka says that she should then sit angrily near the door and shed tears, but should not go out, because she would be found fault with for going away. After a time, when she thinks that the conciliatory words and actions of her lover have reached their utmost, she should then embrace him, talking to him with harsh and reproachful words, but at the same time showing a loving desire for congress.
