O, thou beautiful damsel, may the four oceans Of the earth contribute the secretion of milk In thy breasts for the purpose for improving The bodily strength of the child O, thou with the beautiful face, may the child Reared on your milk, attain a long life, like The gods made immortal with drinks of nectar

This passage reads like a benedictory invocation addressed to a nursing mother (or wet nurse), praising her beauty while praying for abundant, nourishing breast milk and for the infant’s robust growth and longevity. The imagery of the “four oceans” supplying milk elevates lactation into a cosmic, life-sustaining process, while the comparison to gods made deathless by nectar frames breast milk as a near-ambrosial substance that confers vitality. In an Ayurvedic/early Indian medical setting associated with Sushruta, such lines also reflect a practical medical valuation of breastfeeding as foundational to infant strength and health, expressed through devotional-poetic language rather than clinical instruction alone.
