CHĀNDOGYA UPANISHAD · 2.13.2

स य एवम् एतद् वामदेव्यं मिथुने प्रोतं वेद ।
मिथुनी भवति ।
मिथुनान् मिथुनात् प्रजायते ।
सर्वम् आयुर् एति ।
ज्योग् जीवति ।
महान् प्रजया पशुभिर् भवति ।
महान् कीर्त्या ।
न कांचन परिहरेत् ।
तद् व्रतम् ॥

sa ya evam etad vāmadevyaṃ mithune protaṃ veda ।
mithunī bhavati ।
mithunān mithunāt prajāyate ।
sarvam āyur eti ।
jyog jīvati ।
mahān prajayā paśubhir bhavati ।
mahān kīrtyā ।
na kāṃcana pariharet ।
tad vratam ॥

He who knows thus this Vāmadevya Sāman as woven upon copulation comes to copulation, procreates himself from every copulation, reaches a full length of life, lives long, becomes great in offspring and in cattle, great in fame. One should never abstain from any woman. That is his rule.
