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.
追い払え、カーマよ。さらに追い払え、カーマよ。わが怨敵どもを逆転と退却へ赴かしめよ。追われた彼らを最下の闇へ――アグニ(Agni)よ、汝その住まいを焼き尽くせ。
