Ho, mother, O thou easy to be won—so, even so, shall my body come to be. My sexual part, O mother, my thigh, my head—each thrills full-forth with joy: Indra is superior unto all.

โอ้แม่เอ๋ย ผู้ได้มาง่าย—ขอให้กายของข้าเป็นไปดังนี้จริง ๆ อวัยวะกำเนิดของข้า โอ้แม่ ต้นขาของข้า ศีรษะของข้า—ล้วนสั่นระรัวด้วยความยินดีอย่างเต็มเปี่ยม—อินทราเป็นผู้สูงสุดเหนือสรรพสิ่งทั้งปวง
