English Translation
मैथिलि Mythili, एतत् this, एवम् in this manner, कामः passion, कामम् passion, यथाकामम् as it desires, मे my, शरीरे body, प्रवर्तताम् may sway, तु indeed, अकामाम् not force to accept my desire, त्वाम् to you, न स्प्रक्ष्यामि I will not touch.
English Commentary
"Mythili let passion hold its sway over my body as it will. But I shall not force you or touch you since you do not love me.
