Your loins are smooth like smooth-rind water-melons.

You are more beautiful than my favourite among mares,

Your buttocks are sleeker and firmer,

Like her your movements are on legs of light steel.

Come and sit at my hearth, and I will celebrate your coming;

I will choose from the hundred flocks of each a hundred,

Passing at the foot of the Himalaya,

The two most silky and most beautiful great sheep.

We will go to the temple and sacrifice one of the two

To the god Pandu, that you may have many children;
