HYMN CII

A man's love charm 1. Even as this ox, O Asvins, steps and turns together with his    mate,   So let thy fancy turn itself, come nearer, and unite with me. 2. I, as the shaft-horse draws the mare beside him, draw thee to    myself.   Like grass that storm and wind have rent, so be thy mind at-    tached to me! 3. Swiftly from Bhaga's hands I bear away a love-compelling charm   Of ointment and of sugar-cane, of Spikenard and the Kushtha    plant.
