BṚHADĀRAṆYAKA UPANISHAD · 6.4.7

सा चेद् अस्मै न दद्यात् कामम् एनाम् अवक्रिणीयात् ।
सा चेद् अस्मै नैव दद्यात् कामम् एनां यष्ट्या वा पाणिना वोपहत्यातिक्रामेत् ।
इन्द्रियेन ते यशसा यश आदद इति ।
अयशा एव भवति ॥

sā ced asmai na dadyāt kāmam enām avakriṇīyāt ।
sā ced asmai naiva dadyāt kāmam enāṃ yaṣṭyā vā pāṇinā vopahatyātikrāmet ।
indriyena te yaśasā yaśa ādada iti ।
ayaśā eva bhavati ॥

If she should not grant him his desire, he should bribe her. If she still does not grant him his desire, he should hit her with a stick or with his hand, and overcome her, saying: 'With power, with glory I take away your glory!' Thus she becomes inglorious.
