Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 18.1.14

AVŚ 18.1.14

न वा उ ते तनूं तन्वा सं पिपृच्यां पापम् आहुर् यः स्वसारं निगछात् । असंयद् एतन् मनसो हृदो मे भ्राता स्वसुः शयने यच् छयीय ॥१४॥

na vā u te tanūṃ tanvā saṃ pipṛcyāṃ pāpam āhur yaḥ svasāraṃ nigachāt | asaṃyad etan manaso hṛdo me bhrātā svasuḥ śayane yac chayīya ||14||

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

Verily, I may not mingle my body with thy body; they call him wicked (pāpá) who should approach his sister. That is not consonant (? asaṁyát) with my mind [and] heart, that I, a brother, should lie in a sister's bed (çáyana).

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
