6.18.1
īrṣyā́yā dhrā́jiṃ prathamā́ṃ prathamásyā utā́parām |
agníṃ hr̥dayyàṃ śókaṃ táṃ te nír vāpayāmasi ||1||
The first blast of jealousy, and the one after the first, the fire, the heat of the heart—this we extinguish for thee.
6.18.2
yáthā bhū́mir mr̥támanā mr̥tā́n mr̥támanastarā |
yáthotá mamrúṣo mána evérṣyór mr̥táṃ mánaḥ ||2||
As the earth [is] dead-minded, more dead-minded than a dead man, and as [is] the mind of one who has died, so of the jealous man the mind [be] dead.
6.18.3
adó yát te hr̥dí śritáṃ manaskáṃ patayiṣṇukám |
tátas ta īrṣyā́ṃ muñcāmi nír ūṣmā́ṇaṃ dŕ̥ter iva ||3||
That fluttering mind (manaská) that has found place in (çritá) thy heart—from it I set free thy jealousy, like the hot vapor from a bag of skin.
