Sukta 2
दु॒ष्वप्न्यं॑ काम दुरि॒तं च॑ कामाप्र॒जस्ता॑मस्व॒गता॒मव॑र्तिम्। उ॒ग्र ईशा॑नः॒ प्रति॑ मुञ्च॒ तस्मि॒न् यो अ॒स्मभ्य॑मंहूर॒णा चिकि॑त्सात्
duṣvápnyaṃ kāma duritáṃ ca kāmā́prajastām asvágatām ávartim | ugrá ī́śānaḥ práti muñca tásmin yó asmábhyam aṃhūraṇā́ cikitsā́t ||
The evil-dreaming, O Kāma, and the evil plight, O Kāma—barrenness, ill-going, and mis-turning: thou fierce lord, cast it back upon that man who, with distressful intent, would contrive against us.
Ác mộng, hỡi Kāma, và cảnh khốn ác, hỡi Kāma—sự hiếm muộn, đường đi xấu, và sự quay ngược lạc hướng. Hỡi đấng chủ tể dữ dội, hãy ném trả điều ấy lên kẻ kia, kẻ với ý đồ gây khổ mà toan tính hại chúng ta.
