Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 18.1.8

AVŚ 18.1.8

यमस्य मा यम्यं काम आगन्त् समाने योनौ सहशेय्याय । जायेव पत्ये तन्वं रिरिच्यां वि चिद् वृहेव रथ्येव चक्रा ॥८॥

yamasya mā yamyaṃ kāma āgant samāne yonau sahaśeyyāya | jāyeva patye tanvaṃ riricyāṃ vi cid vṛheva rathyeva cakrā ||8||

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

Desire of Yama hath come unto me Yamī, in order to lying together in the same lair (yóni); I would fain yield (ric) my body, as wife to husband; may we whirl off, like two chariot wheels.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
