Mantra 1

Sukta 133

Sanskrit (Devanagari)

खिलानि । विततौ किरणौ द्वौ तावा पिनष्टि पूरुषः । न वै कुमारि तत्तथा यथा कुमारि मन्यसे

IAST Transliteration

khilā́ni | vitátau kiraṇáu dváu tā́vā pinaṣṭi pú̄ruṣaḥ | ná vaí kumāri tát tathā́ yáthā kumāri mányase

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

Khila-verses. Two ‘rays’ are spread abroad; those two, even so, the man presses. Not truly, O maiden, is that so, as, O maiden, thou imaginest.

Translation

ಖಿಲ-ಮಂತ್ರಗಳು. ಎರಡು ‘ಕಿರಣ’ಗಳು ವಿಸ್ತರಿಸಿವೆ; ಆ ಎರಡನ್ನೂ ಪುರುಷನು ಒತ್ತಿ/ಅರೆಯುತ್ತಾನೆ. ಹೇ ಕುಮಾರಿ, ನೀನು, ಹೇ ಕುಮಾರಿ, ಭಾವಿಸುವಂತೆ ಅದು ನಿಜವಾಗಿ ಹಾಗಲ್ಲ.

Attribution

Rishi: Uncertain (khila designation; r̥ṣi attribution not recoverable from the isolated stanza).

Devata: Not a deity-hymn; pragmatic address to a ‘kumārī’ (maiden) with implicit concern for generative powers.

Chandas: Likely Anuṣṭubh-like cadence, but exact metrical scansion is uncertain from the excerpted khila line.
