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.
Te łaskawe twoje postacie, o Kamo - te dobroczynne moce, dzięki którym to, co wybierasz, staje się prawdą - tymi wejdź w nas i pozostań; ale gdzie indziej odpędź złe myśli.
