यं वा मन्त्र योग मूल कर्मभिः श्माशानिकैर् वा संवदन करकं मन्येत तं सत्त्री ब्रूयात् "अमुष्य भार्यां स्नुषां दुहितरं वा कामये, सा मां प्रतिकामयताम्, अयं च अर्थः प्रतिगृह्यताम्" इति ॥

Whoever is believed to secure for others the love of women by means of magical charms, drugs or ceremonials performed on cremation grounds may be approached by a spy with the request that the wife, daughter, or daughter-in-law of some one, whom the spy pretends to love may be made to return the love and that a certain amount of money may be accepted.
