5.4.61
bālāṃ vā paricārikām adoṣajñām aduṣṭenopāyena prahiṇuyāt/ tatra sraji karṇapattre vā gūḍhalekhanidhānaṃ nakhadaśanapadaṃ vā sā mūkadūtī/ tasyās tayā eva pratyuttaraprārthanam//
(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.
