O demons, as monkeys, jackals and dogs are unsteady in their sexual relationships and want newer and newer friends every day, women who live independently seek new friends daily. Friendship with such a woman is never permanent. This is the opinion of learned scholars.

Translation
O demons! Jackals and prostitutes are unsteady in their friendship and think of newer and newer friends every day. This is the opinion of learned scholars. “Then what should we do?” Please listen to the conclusion. Sālavṛka means a monkey, jackal or dog according to Amara-koṣa.
