BṚHADĀRAṆYAKA UPANISHAD · 6.4.6

अथ यद्य् उदक आत्मानं पश्येत् तद् अभिमन्त्रयेत -- मयि तेज इन्द्रियं यशो द्रविणं सुकृतम् इति ।
श्रीर् ह वा एषा स्त्रीणां यन् मलोद्वासाः ।
तस्मान् मलोद्वाससं यशस्विनीम् अभिक्रम्योपमन्त्रयेत ॥

atha yady udaka ātmānaṃ paśyet tad abhimantrayeta -- mayi teja indriyaṃ yaśo draviṇaṃ sukṛtam iti ।
śrīr ha vā eṣā strīṇāṃ yan malodvāsāḥ ।
tasmān malodvāsasaṃ yaśasvinīm abhikramyopamantrayeta ॥

Now, if one should see himself in water, he should recite over it the formula: 'In me be vigor, power, beauty, wealth, merit!' This, verily, indeed, is loveliness among women: when she has removed the clothes of her impurity. Therefore when she has removed the clothes of her impurity and is beautiful, one should approach and invite her.
