2.30.1
yáthedáṃ bhū́myā ádhi tŕ̥ṇaṃ vā́to mathāyáti |
evā́ mathnāmi te máno yáthā mā́ṃ kāmíny áso yáthā mán nā́pagā ásaḥ ||1||
As the wind here shakes the grass off the earth, so do I shake thy mind, that thou mayest be one loving me, that thou mayest be one not going away from me.
2.30.2
sáṃ cén náyātho aśvinā kāmínā sáṃ ca vákṣathaḥ |
sáṃ vāṃ bhágāso agmata sáṃ cittā́ni sám u vratā́ ||2||
May ye, O Açvins, both lead together and bring [her] together with him who loves her. The fortunes (bhága) of you (two) have come together, together [your] intents, together [your] courses (vratá).
2.30.3
yát suparṇā́ vivakṣávo anamīvā́ vivakṣávaḥ |
tátra me gachatād dhávaṃ śalyá iva kúlmalaṃ yáthā ||3||
What the eagles [are] wanting to say, the free from disease [are] wanting to say—there let her come to my call, as the tip to the neck of the arrow (kúlmala).

kanyā̀nāṃ viśvárūpāṇāṃ máno gr̥bhāyauṣadhe ||4||
What [was] within, [be] that without; what [was] without, [be] that within; of the maidens of many forms seize thou the mind, O herb.

éyám agan pátikāmā jánikāmo 'hám ā́gamam |
áśvaḥ kánikradad yáthā bhágenāháṃ sahā́gamam ||5||
Hither hath this woman come, desiring a husband; desiring a wife have I come; like a loud-neighing (krand) horse, together with fortune have I come.
