Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 18.1.4

AVŚ 18.1.4

न यत् पुरा चकृमा कद् ध नूनम् ऋतं वदन्तो अनृतं रपेम । गन्धर्वो अप्स्व् अप्या च योषा सा नौ नाभिः परमं जामि तन् नौ ॥४॥

na yat purā cakṛmā kad dha nūnam ṛtaṃ vadanto anṛtaṃ rapema | gandharvo apsv apyā ca yoṣā sā nau nābhiḥ paramaṃ jāmi tan nau ||4||

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

What we (pl.) did not do formerly, why [do that] now? speaking righteousness, should we prate unrighteousness? The Gandharva in the waters and the watery woman (yóṣā)—that is our (du.) union (nā́bhi), that our ⌊du.⌋ highest relation (jāmí).

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
