AVŚ 6.138.5

यथा नडम् कशिपुने स्त्रियो भिन्दन्त्य् अश्मना । एवा भिनद्मि ते शेपो ऽमुष्या अधि मुष्कयोः ॥५॥

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

As women split reeds with a stone for a cushion, so do I split thy member, on yon woman's loins.
