Sanskrit Original
न॒दस्य॑ मा रुध॒तः काम॒ आग॑न्नि॒त आजा॑तो अ॒मुतः॒ कुत॑श्चित् । लोपा॑मुद्रा॒ वृष॑णं॒ नी रि॑णाति॒ धीर॒मधी॑रा धयति श्व॒सन्त॑म्
nadasya mā rudhataḥ kāma āgannita ājāto amutaḥ kutaścit lopāmudrā vṛṣaṇaṃ nī riṇāti dhīramadhīrā dhayati śvasantam
Do not obstruct desire, O river; the born came from here and there. The strong bulls take away the markless herd; the brave one supports the breathing one.
Desire, either from this cause or from that, has come upon me whilst engaged in prayer and suppressing (passion); let Lopāmudrā approach her husband; the unsteady feminine le beguiles the firm and resolute man.
Cupido 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.
