Sanskrit recitationAtharva Veda 4.37.5

yátra vaḥ preṅkhā́ harítā árjunā utá yátrāghātā́ḥ karkaryàḥ saṃvádanti | tát paréta apsarásaḥ pratíbuddhā abhūtana

Where are your green swings amid the Arjuna-trees, and where the struck Karkarīs make concerted sound—thither depart, O Apsarases; detected and brought to wakefulness, be ye (so) become.

あなたがたの緑のぶらんこがArjuna樹の間にあり、また打たれたKarkarīが合わさって鳴り響くところへ――アプサラスたちよ、そこへ去れ。見破られ、呼び覚まされたなら、そのとおりに成れ(去れ)。
