RV 10.123.5

अप्सरा जारम् उपसिष्मियाणा योषा बिभर्ति परमे व्योमन् । चरत् प्रियस्य योनिषु प्रियः सन् सीदत् पक्षे हिरण्यये स वेनः ॥

apsarā jāram upasiṣmiyāṇā yoṣā bibharti parame vyoman | carat priyasya yoniṣu priyaḥ san sīdat pakṣe hiraṇyaye sa venaḥ ||

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

The Apsaras, the Lady, sweetly smiling, supports her Lover in sublimest heaven. In his Friend's dwelling as a Friend he wanders: he, Vena, rests him on his golden pinion.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
