RV 10.10.11

किम् भ्रातासद् यद् अनाथम् भवाति किम् उ स्वसा यन् निरृतिर् निगच्छात् । काममूता बह्व् एतद् रपामि तन्वा मे तन्वं सम् पिपृग्धि ॥

kim bhrātāsad yad anātham bhavāti kim u svasā yan nirṛtir nigacchāt | kāmamūtā bahv etad rapāmi tanvā me tanvaṃ sam pipṛgdhi ||

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

Is he a brother when no lord is left her? Is she a sister when Destruction cometh? Forced by my love these many words I utter. Come near, and hold me in thy close embraces.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
