Dattātreyayogaśāstra 85
यदि संगं करोत्येवं बिन्दुस्तस्य विनश्यति |
आयुःक्षयो बिन्दुनाशादसामर्थ्यं च जायते ||85||
Metre: Anuṣṭubh
If (yadi) he has sexual intercourse (saṃgam | acc sg) in this way (evam), doing so (karoti | 3p sg act pres) causes his (tasya | gen sg m) semen (binduḥ | nom sg) to be lost (vinaśyati | 3p sg act pres). Through the loss of semen (bindunāśāt | abl sg), his lifespan is diminished (āyuḥkṣayaḥ | nom sg), and (ca) weakness (asāmarthyam | nom sg) arises (jāyate | 3p sg med pres).
If the yogi gives in to this desire, vital power is lost. The loss shortens life and brings weakness.

Dattātreyayogaśāstra 86
तस्मात्स्त्रीणां संगवर्जं कुर्यादभ्यासमादरात् |
योगिनो ऽङ्गे सुगन्धः स्यात्सततं बिन्दुधारणात् ||86||
Metre: Anuṣṭubh
Therefore (tasmāt | abl sg n), he should carefully (ādarāt | abl sg) carry out (kuryāt | 3p sg act opt) his practice (abhyāsam | acc sg), avoiding association (saṃgavarjam | acc sg m) with women (strīṇām | gen pl). Through constant (satatam) retention of semen (bindudhāraṇāt | abl sg), a pleasant smell (sugandhaḥ | nom sg) should arise (syāt | 3p sg act opt) in the body (aṅge | loc sg) of the yogi (yoginaḥ | gen sg).
The yogi therefore avoids sexual entanglement and continues to practise carefully. Preserving vital power is said to make the body smell pleasant.
