6.72.1
yáthāsitáḥ pratháyate váśām ánu vápūṃṣi kr̥ṇvánn ásurasya māyáyā |
evā́ te śépaḥ sáhasāyám arkó 'ṅgenā́ṅgaṃ sáṃsamakaṃ kr̥ṇotu ||1||
As the black snake spreads himself at pleasure, making wondrous forms (vápus), by the Asura's magic (māyá), so let this arid suddenly make thy member altogether correspondent (? sáṁsamaka), limb with limb.
6.72.2
yáthā pásas tāyādaráṃ vā́tena sthūlabháṃ kr̥tám |
yā́vat párasvataḥ pásas tā́vat te vardhatāṃ pásaḥ ||2||
As the member of the tayādara is made big by the wind—as great as is the member of the párasvant, so great let thy member grow.
6.72.3
yāvadaṅgī́naṃ pā́rasvataṃ hā́stinaṃ gā́rdabham ca yát |
yā́vad áśvasya vājínas tā́vat te vardhatāṃ pásaḥ ||3||
As much of a limb as is that of the párasvant, that of the elephant, and that of the ass—as great as of the vigorous (vājín) horse, so great let thy member grow.
