nudásva kāma prá nudásva kāmā́vartim yantu máma yé sapatnā́ḥ | téṣāṃ nuttā́nām adhamā́ támāṃsy agne vā́stūni nír daha tvám ||
Drive off, O Kāma; drive off forth, O Kāma: let my rivals go into reversal and turning-back. Of those driven out, to the lowest darknesses—O Agni—burn thou their dwellings utterly away.
Repousse, ô Kāma ; repousse au loin, ô Kāma : que mes rivaux aillent vers l’inversion et le retour en arrière. Et ceux qui sont repoussés — vers les ténèbres les plus basses ; ô Agni, brûle entièrement leurs demeures.
