sevato varṣa-pūgān me
urvaśyā adharāsavam
na tṛpyaty ātma-bhūḥ kāmo
vahnir āhutibhir yathā

 sevataḥ - who was serving; varṣa-pūgān - for many years; me - my; urvaśyāḥ - of Urvaśī; adhara - of the lips; āsavam - the nectar; na tṛpyati - never became satisfied; ātma-bhūḥ - born from the mind; kāmaḥ - the lust; vahniḥ - fire; āhutibhiḥ - by oblations; yathā - just as.

Even after I had served the so-called nectar of the lips of Urvaśī for many years, my lusty desires kept rising again and again within my heart and were never satisfied, just like a fire that can never be extinguished by the oblations of ghee poured into its flames.
