याव॑ती द्यावा॑पृथि॒वी व॑रि॒म्णा याव॒दापः॑ सिष्य॒दुर्याव॑द॒ग्निः । तत॒स्त्वम॑सि॒ ज्याया॑न् वि॒श्वहा॑ म॒हांस्तस्मै॑ ते काम॒ नम॒ इत् कृ॑णोमि

As vast as Heaven and Earth in their breadth, as far as the Waters flow, as far as Fire (extends)—therefore art thou ever greater, mighty: to thee, O Kāma, homage, even so, I render.
جتنا وسیع آسمان اور زمین اپنی وسعت میں، جتنی دور پانی بہتے ہیں، جتنی دور آگ پھیلی ہے - اس لیے تو ہمیشہ بڑا ہے، طاقتور: اے کاما، تجھے سلام، یوں میں پیش کرتا ہوں۔
