O blessed lady, I have been bitten by Kama (the god of love) who is like a large snake.
Sanskrit: सा त्वं पीनायतश्रोणि मामापनुहि वरानने। त्वदधीना हि मे प्राणाः किन्नरोद्गीतभाषिणि॥१०
English: O lady of faultless features, O lady of tapering things, O lady of sweet voice as that of the Kinnaris, have mercy on me; my life depends on you.
