Book 6: Hymn 89: A man's love charm

HYMN LXXXIX

A man's love charm

1This strength that Soma hath bestowed, the head of her who
gladdeneth,—
With that which thence hath been produced we make thy spirit
sorrowful.
2We make thy spirit sorrowful, we fill thy mind with pain and
grief.
As smoke accompanies the wind, so let thy fancy follow me.
3May Varuna and Mitra, may Sarasvati the Goddess,
May the centre of the earth, and both her limits bring thee close
to me.
