आ दस्युघ्ना मनसा याह्यस्तं भुवत्ते कुत्सः सख्ये निकामः । स्वे योनौ नि षदतं सरूपा वि वां चिकित्सदृतचिद्ध नारी ॥

ā́ dasyu-ghnā́ manasā yā́hy ástaṃ bhúvat te kútsaḥ sakhyé ní-kāmaḥ | své yónau ní ṣadatam sá-rūpā ví vāṃ cikitsad ṛtá-cid dha nā́rī ||

हे दस्यु-घ्न (दस्यूंना संहारणारा), मनाने गृहाभिमुख ये; एकाच अभिलाषेच्या सख्यात कुत्स तुझा प्रिय सखा झाला आहे. आपल्या स्वयंच्या योनि/आश्रयात, एकरूप होऊन, तुम्ही दोघेही एकत्र बसावे; ऋत (सत्य-नियम) जाणणारी ती नारी तुमचे गूढ कर्मही निश्चयाने ओळखते.
