Sexual Life in Ancient India: A Study in the Comparative History of Indian Culture v1.c6.126

v1.c6.126

Thou art begotten limb from limb,
Thou art born from the heart,
Thou art the self, that son is called ;
Live thou a hundred autumns !

My life hangs from thine,
On thee hangs the everlasting span of the race ;
Therefore, mayest thou, my son, in happiness high
Live a hundred autumns long ! ¹
