यदासु मर्तो अम्र्तासु निस्प्र्क सं कषोणीभिः करतुभिर्नप्र्ङकते | ता आतयो न तन्वः शुम्भत सवा अश्वासो नक्रीळयो दन्दशानाः

When, loving these Immortal Ones, the mortal hath converse with the nymphs as they allow him. Like swans they show the beauty of their bodies, like horses in their play they bite and nibble.
