Influence of this sutra is seen on Amaruka, when he des-
cribes a beloved, who was embraced and kissed by her lover
126 in the darkness.
v膩tsy膩yana, having instructed a man, gives some guide-
lines to a girl about her behaviour at the first union.
He says- "Old authors say that, although the girl loves
the man ever so much, she should not offer herself, for
a girl who does this, loses her dignity.
When the man
shows his wish to enjoy her, she should be favourable to
128 him.
When he embraces her, she should not show any
change in her demeanour,
not
should/oppose him.
"127

130 Though importuned by him she should
not yield herself upto him as if of her own accord, but
131 should resist his attempts to have her.
