AVŚ 6.70.2

यथा हस्ती हस्तिन्याः पदेन पदम् उद्युजे । यथा पुंसो वृषण्यत स्त्रियां निहन्यते मनः । एवा ते अघ्न्ये मनो ऽधि वत्से नि हन्यताम् ॥२॥

yathā hastī hastinyāḥ padena padam udyuje | yathā puṃso vṛṣaṇyata striyāṃ nihanyate manaḥ | evā te aghnye mano 'dhi vatse ni hanyatām ||2||

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

As the elephant strains foot with foot of the she-elephant; as of a lustful man etc. etc.
