Sukta 2
यास्ते॑ शि॒वास्त॒न्वःऽ काम भ॒द्रा याभिः॑ स॒त्यं भव॑ति॒ यद् वृ॑णी॒षे। ताभि॒ष्ट्वम॒स्माँ अ॑भि॒संवि॑शस्वा॒न्यत्र॑ पा॒पीरप॑ वेशया॒ धियः॑
yā́s te śivā́s tanvàḥ kā́ma bhadrā́ yā́bhiḥ satyáṁ bhávati yád vṛṇī́ṣe | tā́bhis tvám asmā́ṁ abhí sáṁviśasvā́nyátra pāpī́r ápa veśayā dhíyaḥ
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.
Wahai Kāma, bentuk-bentuk-Mu yang śiva (membawa berkah), kekuatan-kekuatan-Mu yang bhadra, yang dengannya apa yang Engkau pilih menjadi satya (benar/terwujud)—dengan itu masuklah ke dalam kami dan berdiam. Tetapi ke tempat lain halaukanlah pikiran-pikiran jahat (pāpīr dhiyah).
