Nyastikā́ hast thou grown up, my good-fortune maker; a hundred [are] thy forth-stretchers, three and thirty thy down-stretchers. With this thousand-leafed [herb] I make dry thy heart.
6.139.2
śúṣyatu máyi te hŕ̥dayam átho śuṣyatv āsyàm |
átho ní śuṣya mā́ṃ kā́menā́tho śúṣkāsyā cara ||2||
Let thy heart dry up on me, then let [thy] mouth dry up; then dry thou up by loving me; then go thou about dry-mouthed.

amū́ṃ ca mā́ṃ ca sáṃ nuda samānáṃ hŕ̥dayaṃ kr̥dhi ||3||
A conciliator, a love-awakener (?), do thou, O brown, beauteous one, push together; push together both yon woman and me; make [our] heart the same.

evā́ ní śuṣya mā́ṃ kā́menā́tho śúṣkāsyā cara ||4||
As the mouth of one who has not drunk water dries away, so dry thou up by loving me, then go thou about dry-mouthed.
