Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 10.2.3

AVŚ 10.2.3

चतुष्टयं युजते संहितान्तं जानुभ्याम् ऊर्ध्वं शिथिरं कबन्धम् । श्रोणी यद् ऊरू क उ तज् जजान याभ्यां कुसिन्धं सुदृढं बभूव ॥३॥

catuṣṭayaṃ yujate saṃhitāntaṃ jānubhyām ūrdhvaṃ śithiraṃ kabandham | śroṇī yad ūrū ka u taj jajāna yābhyāṃ kusindhaṃ sudṛḍhaṃ babhūva ||3||

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

There is joined, fourfold (cátuṣṭaya), with closed (sáṁhita-) ends, above the two knees, the pliant (çithirá) trunk; what the hips are, the thighs—who indeed produced (jan) that, by which the body (kúsindha) became very firm?

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
