2.4.31
nānyat paṭutaraṃ kiṃ cid asti rāgavivardhanam/
nakhadantasamutthānāṃ karmaṇāṃ gatayo yathā//
A man, also, who carries the marks of nails and teeth on some parts of his body, influences the mind of a woman, even though it be ever so firm. In short, nothing tends to increase love so much as the effects of marking with the nails, and biting.
