3.2.24
ahaṃ khalu tava dantapadāny adhare kariṣyāmi stanapṛṣṭhe ca nakhapadam/ ātmanaś ca svayaṃ kṛtvā tvayā kṛtam iti te sakhījanasya purataḥ kathayiṣyāmi/ sā tvaṃ kim atra vakṣyasīti bālavibhīṣikair bālapratyāyanaiś ca śanair enāṃ pratārayet/
If the girl is familiar with the man, she should place near him, without saying anything, the tambula, the ointment, or the garland that he may have asked for, or she may tie them up in his upper garment. While she is engaged in this, the man should touch her young breasts in the sounding way of pressing with the nails, and if she prevents him doing this he should say to her, “I will not do it again if you will embrace me,” and should in this way cause her to embrace him. While he is being embraced by her he should pass his hand repeatedly over and about her body. By and by he should place her in his lap, and try more and more to gain her consent, and if she will not yield to him he should frighten her by saying, "I shall impress marks of my teeth and nails on your lips and breasts, and then make similar marks on my own body, and shall tell my friends that you did them. What will you say then?" In this and other ways, as fear and confidence are created in the minds of children, so should the man gain her over to his wishes.
