Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 18.1.12

AVŚ 18.1.12

किं भ्रातासद् यद् अनाथं भवाति किम् उ स्वसा यन् निरृतिर् निगछात् । काममूता बह्व् एतद् रपामि तन्वा मे तन्वं सं पिपृग्धि ॥१२॥

kiṃ bhrātāsad yad anāthaṃ bhavāti kim u svasā yan nirṛtir nigachāt | kāmamūtā bahv etad rapāmi tanvā me tanvaṃ saṃ pipṛgdhi ||12||

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

What should brother be when there is no protector? or what sister, when destruction impends (ni-gam)? Impelled by desire, I prate thus much; mingle thou thy body with my body.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
