Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 6.11.2

AVŚ 6.11.2

पुंसि वै रेतो भवति तत् स्त्रियाम् अनु षिच्यते । तद् वै पुत्रस्य वेदनं तत् प्रजापतिर् अब्रवीत् ॥२॥

puṃsi vai reto bhavati tat striyām anu ṣicyate | tad vai putrasya vedanaṃ tat prajāpatir abravīt ||2||

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

In the male, indeed, grows (bhū) the seed; that is poured along into the woman; that verily is the obtainment of a son; that Prajāpati said.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
