English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

Khila-verse. When, cleaving the strait, make thou the gross thing press near; her testicles indeed, as she quivers, are like little birds in a cow’s hoof-print.

Translation

ഖിലാ-മന്ത്രം. ഇടുങ്ങിയ വഴിയെ പിളർത്തി, നീ ആ സ്ഥൂല വസ്തുവിനെ അടുത്തേക്ക് അമർത്തിക്കൊള്ളുക; അവൾ വിറയ്ക്കുമ്പോൾ അവളുടെ മുഷ്ക (വൃഷണം)കൾ ഗോമുഖത്തിന്റെ കാൽപ്പാടിലെ ചെറുപക്ഷികളെപ്പോലെ തന്നെയുണ്ട്.
