What is thy liver, thy kidneys, what thy intestines, and thy lower passages—let these milk into the vessel clotted milk: milk, and ghee, and honey besides.
जो तेरा यकृत् है, जो तेरे मतस्ने (वृक्क/गुर्दे) हैं, जो तेरी आँतें हैं और जो तेरे गुदा-मार्ग हैं—वे सब दात्र (पात्र) में आमिक्षा (जमा हुआ दही/दुग्ध-रस) दुहें; और साथ ही क्षीर (दूध), सर्पि (घी) तथा मधु (शहद) भी।
