Translation

“O bewildered one, if I am an offender, then why are you hesitating to punish me? Punish me at once. Cruelly bite me with your teeth and bind me tightly with your slender creeper-like arms. Crush me with your hard breasts. O angry woman, find happiness by punishing me in this way. If my life-air departs as a result of such a severe punishment, then good, let it go. But may my prana not depart from the impact of the miscreant Kämadeva’s arrow.”
