Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 18.1.15

AVŚ 18.1.15

बतो बतासि यम नैव ते मनो हृदयं चाविदाम् आ । अन्या किल त्वां कक्ष्येव युक्तं परि ष्वजातौ लिबुजेव वृक्षम् ॥१५॥

bato batāsi yama naiva te mano hṛdayaṃ cāvidām ā | anyā kila tvāṃ kakṣyeva yuktaṃ pari ṣvajātau libujeva vṛkṣam ||15||

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

A weakling (? batá), alas, art thou, O Yama; we have not found mind and heart thine; verily, another woman shall embrace thee, as a girth a harnessed [horse], as a twining plant (líbujā) a tree.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
