अभ्रातेव पुंस एति परतीची गर्तारुगिव सनये धनानाम | जायेय पत्य उशती सुवासा उषा हस्रेव नि रिणीते अप्सः

abhrāteva puṃsa eti pratīcī ghartārughiva sanaye dhanānām | jāyeya patya uśatī suvāsā uṣā hasreva ni riṇīte apsaḥ
English Translation (Griffith)
She seeketh men, as she who hath no brother, mounting her car, as ’twere to gather riches. Dawn, like a loving matron for her husband, smiling and well attired, unmasks her beauty.
