- यदासु मर्तो अमृतासु निस्पृक्सं क्षोणीभिः क्रतुभिर्न पृङ्क्ते।
ता आतयो न तन्वः शुम्भत स्वा अश्वासो न क्रीळयो दन्दशानाः॥- yadāsu marto amṛtāsu nispṛksaṃ kṣoṇībhiḥ kratubhirna pṛṅkte.
tā ātayo na tanvaḥ śumbhata svā aśvāso na krīḷayo dandaśānāḥ. - When a mortal, going to caress immortal women, mingles (with their bodies) amid their cries, as if by his intentions,
like ducks they preen their own bodies, like horses playful and constantly nipping.[2]
