Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 10.10.12

RV 10.10.12

न वा उ ते तन्वा तन्वं सम् पपृच्याम् पापम् आहुर् यः स्वसारं निगच्छात् । अन्येन मत् प्रमुदः कल्पयस्व न ते भ्राता सुभगे वष्ट्य् एतत् ॥

na vā u te tanvā tanvaṃ sam papṛcyām pāpam āhur yaḥ svasāraṃ nigacchāt | anyena mat pramudaḥ kalpayasva na te bhrātā subhage vaṣṭy etat ||

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

I will not fold mine arms about thy body: they call it sin when one comes near his sister. Not me,-prepare thy pleasures with another: thy brother seeks not this from thee, O fair one.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
