Rati

1'Through many autumns have I toiled and laboured, at night and morn, through age−inducing dawnings. Old age impairs the beauty of our bodies. Let husbands still come near unto their spouses.

2For even the men aforetime, law−fulfillers, who with the Gods declared eternal statutes,−− They have decided, but have not accomplished: so now let Wives come near unto their husbands.

3Non inutilis est labor cui Dii favent: nos omnes aemulos et aemulas vincamus. Superemus in hac centum artium pugna in qua duas partes convenientes utrinque commovemus.

4Cupido me cepit illius tauri [viri] qui me despicit, utrum hinc utrum illinc ab aliqua parte nata sit. Lopamudra taururn [mariturn suum] ad se detrahit: insipiens illa sapientem anhelantern absorbet.

5Membrum suum virile, quod vrotentum fuerat, mas ille retraxit. Rursus illud quod in juvenem filiam sublatum fuerat, non aggressurus, ad se rerahit.

6Quum jam in medio connessu, semiperfecto opere, amorem in puellam pater impleverat, ambo disceden tes seminis paulum in terrae superficiem sacrorum sede effusum emiserunt.

7Quum pater suam nilam adiverat, cum ed congressus suum semen supra wrrarn effudit. Tum Dii benigni precem (brahma) prgeduerunt, et Vastoshpatim, legum sacrarum custodem, formaverunt.

8Ille tauro similis spumam in certamine jactavit, tunc discedens pusillaximis huc profectus est. Quasi dex tro pede claudus processit, "inutiles fuerunt illi mei complexus," ita locutus.

9'The fire, burning the people, does not approach quickly (by day): the naked (Rakasas approach) not Ag ni by night; the giver of fuel, and the giver of food, he, the upholder (of the rite), is born, overcoming enemi es by his might.'
