Rig Veda 10.10.12

Sanskrit (Devanagari)

न वा उ ते तन्वा तन्वं सं पप्र्च्यां पापमाहुर्यःस्वसारं निगछात | अन्येन मत परमुदः कल्पयस्व न तेभ्रात सुभगे वष्ट्येतत

IAST Romanisation

na vā u te tanvā tanvaṃ saṃ papṛcyāṃ pāpamāhuryaḥsvasāraṃ nighachāt | anyena mat pramudaḥ kalpayasva na tebhrāta subhaghe vaṣṭyetat

English Translation (Griffith)

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.
