To attach a cow to her calf
This verse is not included in this edition.
To attach a cow to her calf
As flesh, as strong-drink, as dice on the gambling-board; as of a lustful man the mind is fastened (ni-han) on a woman—-so let thy mind, O inviolable one (aghnyā́), be fastened on thy calf.
yathā hastī hastinyāḥ padena padam udyuje yathā puṃso vṛṣaṇyata striyāṃ nihanyate manaḥ evā te aghnye mano 'dhi vatse ni hanyatām
As the elephant strains foot with foot of the she-elephant; as of a lustful man etc. etc.
yathā pradhir yathopadhir yathā nabhyaṃ pradhāv adhi yathā puṃso vṛṣaṇyata striyāṃ nihanyate manaḥ evā te aghnye mano 'dhi vatse ni hanyatām
As the felly (pradhí), as the rim (upadhí), as the nave upon the felly; as of a lustful man etc. etc. ⌊See p. xcii.⌋
