Only maidens of slender frame, O goddess, you come to behold the gods. The maiden, smiling, formerly stood before—she spreads radiance over the chest.
Goddess, manifest in person n like a maiden, you go to the resplendent and munificent (sun), and, like a youthful bride (beforeher husband), you uncover, smiling, yor bosom in his presence.
In pride of beauty like a maid thou goest, O Goddess, to the God who longs to win thee, And smiling youthful, as thou shinest brightly, before him thou discoverest thy bosom.
