जाया इद् वो अप्सरसो गन्धर्वाः पतयो युयम् । अप धावतामर्त्या मर्त्यान् मा सचध्वम् ॥१२॥

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

Your wives, verily, are the Apsarases; O Gandharvas, ye are [their] husbands; run away, O immortal ones; fasten not on mortals.
