Translation -
[N.B. Here in this hymn we find the description of Banaparni, a creeping herbaceous plant. It is used to control the passion. To be too passionate is a gross evil. A house-holder having sexual intercourse with his wife in normal prescribed way is called celibate inspite of his being a bouse-holding man. To be under control and satisfied with his own married wife is Patnivrata. To break this rule and fall in the habit of debauchery is called Sapatnata. By keeping celibacy intact one can overcome debauchery. To maintain this position Banaparni is an effective medicine. Therefore, it has been called the medicine of removing Sapatnata.] I dig out of earth this plant (Banaparni) which has most effective power among others and wherewith one quells the debauchery and wherewith gains the favor of one’s own husband.
