Sexual Life in Ancient India: A Study in the Comparative History of Indian Culture v2.c20.96

His going has bereft me of my senses,
My body burns about me as with the glow of fire.
Ah! my longing is but to him speedily to go,
And that he for ever with us here do dwell.
To him I go, my father dear.
And what kind of chaste life may his be?
I will do with him the same penance
As he does, he, the man of noble ways.
To do it thus is the call of my heart’s wish.
My soul doth burn, when I see him not.”
