Dew off the rare Naga Vajra grass.
These essences make a nectar
which is fermented by one
who is incarnated as a maiden.
Her cup's contents can protect you
from rebirth in a lower form,
if it is tasted in the state
of awareness it deserves.”

but not her love.

that flee over the hills.
But nothing, not even incantations
can hold a wild beloved
who has stopped loving
her lover.”

“Even the stars can be measured,
Their arrangements and influences.
Her body can be lovingly touched,
but not her deep longings.
Those cannot be understood
by science.”
