12.2.3
dāmpatye 'bhirucir hetur māyaiva vyāvahārike /
strītve puṃstve ca hi ratir vipratve sūtram eva hi //
3. In marriage relations to conceive a liking is the reason for a choice; in business relations hypocrisy is the one force to guide the man; carnal pleasure is the only consideration in deciding a man's or woman's fitness and it is but the cotton thread that makes one a brahmin.
