tathā vrajayoṣidbhiḥ saha gavādhyakṣasya//
The union of the above mentioned men with this class of woman takes place on the occasions of unpaid labor, of filling the graneries in their houses, of taking things in and out of the house, of cleaning the houses, of working in the fields, and of purchasing cotton, wool, flax, hemp, and thread, and at the season of the purchase, sale, and exchange of various other articles, as well as at the time of doing various other works. In the same way the superintendents of cow pens enjoy the women in the cow pens; and officers, who have the superintendence of widows, of women who are without supporters, and of women who have left their husbands, have sexual intercourse with these women. The intelligent accomplish their object by wandering at night in the village, while villagers also unite with the wives of their sons, being much alone with them. Lastly the superintendents of markets have a great deal to do with female villagers at the time of their making purchases in the market.
