siddhatām ātmano jñātvā liṅgāny unnīya yoṣitām/
vyāvṛttikāraṇocchedī naro yoṣitsu sidhyati//
"Desire, which springs from nature, and which is increased by art, and from which all danger is taken away by wisdom, becomes firm and secure. A clever man, depending on his own ability, and observing carefully the ideas and thoughts of women, and removing the causes of their turning away from men, is generally successful with them."
