sanskrit
The women that can be obtained without any effort are as follows: one it suffices to set one's hand to in order to have her; one 'who is always on the doorstep, looking along the street leading to her house; one who goes to indoor receptions dressed very scantily; one who always looks at men; one who, when she is looked at, looks around her; one on whom a co-wife is imposed for no particular reason; one who is visibly hostile to her husband, or without family, or without a husband.
