जनिष्ट योषा पतयत्कनीनको वि चारुहन्वीरुधो दंसना अनु । आस्मै रीयन्ते निवनेव सिन्धवोऽस्मा अह्ने भवति तत्पतित्वनम् ॥

Transliteration

janiṣṭha yóṣā patáyat kanīnakaḥ ví cā́ru-hanvī́rudho daṃsanā́ ánu | ā́smāi rīyante nivanéva síndhavo 'smā́ ahné bhavati tát patitvánam ||

Translation

Nace la doncella; hacia ella vuela el joven muchacho; los poderes de bella mandíbula siguen la destreza de las obras. Hacia él fluyen las corrientes como hacia una pendiente; para él, en ese día, llega a ser la maestría: el estado de esposo (patitvána).
