Those gracious forms of thine, O Kāma—those goodly powers whereby what thou choosest becomes true—therewith do thou enter in upon us and abide; but elsewhere drive thou away the evil thoughts.
Esas formas tuyas benévolas y auspiciosas, oh Kāma — esos buenos poderes por los que se hace verdad lo que eliges — con ellas entra en nosotros y permanece; pero en otra parte ahuyenta y aparta los malos pensamientos.
