दौत्येन प्रहितान्यया स्वयमेव नायकमभिगच्छेदजानती नाम तेन सहोपभोगं स्वप्ने वा कथयेत् । गोत्रस्खलितं भार्यां चास्य निन्देत् । तद्वयपदेशेन स्वयमीयां दर्शयेत्। नखदशनचिह्नितं वा किञ्चिद् दद्यात्। भवतेऽहमादौ दातुं सङ्कल्पितेति चाभिदधीत। मम भार्यायाः का रमणीयेति विविक्ते पर्यनुयुञ्जीत सा स्वयंदूती ।। ५४ ।।

sanskrit

She may also be her own messenger [svayamduti]. Although sent by another woman, she acts on her own account, and strives to attract the boy herself. She tells him that she has made love with him in a dream. She claims that the married woman he lusts after is of low extraction and, out of deceit, she shows her jealousy. In giving him objects marked with scratches and bites, she claims "You ought to have offered them to me. In what way is that married woman prettier than I?" And, having succeeded in separating them, she ends by uniting with him. Such is one who becomes her own messenger.
