1Thereafter rose Desire in the beginning, Desire the primal seed and germ of Spirit. O Kāma dwelling with the lofty Kāma, give growth of riches to the sacrificer. 2Thou, Kāma, art victorious, famous, potent, splendid, a friend. to him who seeks thy friendship. Mighty and overpowering in battle, give strength and vigour to the sacrificer. 3They heard his prayers, and they begot, by Kāma, heavenly- light for him. Who from a distance longed for it, a dealer ready to exchange. 4O Kāma, with whatever wish we make this offering to thee, May it be all fulfilled to us. Then taste this sacrifice, All hail!
