6.42.1

अव ज्यामिव धन्वनो मन्युं तनोमि ते हृदः ।
यथा संमनसौ भूत्वा सखायाविव सचावहै ॥ ६.४२.१ ॥

As the bowstring is loosened from the bow, so I loosen anger from your heart, that we, being of one mind, may live together like friends.

सखायाविव सचावहा अव मन्युं तनोमि ते ।
अधस्ते अश्मनो मन्युमुपास्यामसि यो गुरुः ॥ ६.४२.२ ॥

Like friends let us live together; I loosen your anger. As one places beneath a heavy stone, so we place beneath us your anger, which is heavy.

अभि तिष्ठामि ते मन्युं पार्ष्ण्या प्रपदेन च ।
यथावशो न वादिषो मम चित्तमुपायसि ॥ ६.४२.३ ॥

I stand upon your anger with heel and forefoot, so that, subdued, you will not speak against me, but will come to my mind.
