2.13.1
upamantrayate sa (S )kāraḥ \
jñapayate sa prastāvaḥ \
striyā saha śete sa udgīthaḥ \
(S ) śete sa pratihāraḥ \
kālaṃ gacchati tan nidhanam \
pāraṃ gacchati tan nidhanam \
etad vāmadevyaṃ mithune protam \\213.1\
1. One summons—that is a Hiṅkāra. He makes request—that is a Prastāva. Together with the woman he lies down—that is an Udgītha. He lies upon the woman—that is a Pratihāra. He comes to the end—that is a Nidhana. He comes to the finish—that is a Nidhana. This is the Vāmadevya Sāman as woven upon copulation.
2.13.3
sa ya evam etad vāmadevyaṃ mithune protaṃ veda \
mithunī bhavati \
mithunān mithunāt prajāyate \
sarvam āyur eti \
jyog jīvati \
mahān prajayā paśubhir bhavati \
mahān kīrtyā \
na kāṃcana pariharet \
tad vratam \\213.3\
2. He who knows thus this Vāmadevya Sāman as woven upon copulation comes to copulation, procreates himself from every copulation, reaches a full length of life, lives long, becomes great in offspring and in cattle, great in fame. One should never abstain from any woman. That is his rule.
