Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 8.9.12

AVŚ 8.9.12

छन्दःपक्षे उषसा पेपिशाने समानं योनिम् अनु सं चरेमे । सूर्यपत्नी सं चरतः प्रजानती केतुमती अजरे भूरिरेतसा ॥१२॥

chandaḥpakṣe uṣasā pepiśāne samānaṃ yonim anu saṃ careme | sūryapatnī saṃ carataḥ prajānatī ketumatī ajare bhūriretasā ||12||

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

The two meter-winged dawns, greatly adorning themselves, move on together toward the same lair (yóni); spouses of the sun, they move on together, understanding, having ensigns, unaging, having abundant seed.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
