AVŚ 12.2.31

इमा नारीर् अविधवाः सुपत्नीर् आञ्जनेन सर्पिषा सं स्पृशन्ताम् । अनश्रवो अनमीवाः सुरत्ना आ रोहन्तु जनयो योनिम् अग्रे ॥३१॥

imā nārīr avidhavāḥ supatnīr āñjanena sarpiṣā saṃ spṛśantām | anaśravo anamīvāḥ suratnā ā rohantu janayo yonim agre ||31||

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

Let these women, not widows, well-spoused, touch themselves with ointment, with butter; tearless, without disease, with good treasures (-rátna), let the wives ascend first to the place of union (yóni).

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
