3. I make thy member taut, like a bowstring on a bow; mount, as it were a stag a doe, unrelaxingly always.

1. As this draft-horse (vāhá), O Açvins, comes together and moves together [with his mate], so unto me let thy mind come together and move together.

2. I drag along (ā-khid) thy mind, as a king-horse a side-mare (?); like grass cut by a whirlwind, let thy mind twine itself to me.

3. Of ointment, of madúgha, of kúṣṭha, and of nard, by the hands of Bhaga, I bring up quick a means of subjection.
