Rig Veda 10.10.7: Mandala 10, Sukta 10, Mantra 7

Sukta 10.10

Rishi: Yamī (dialogue hymn with Yama; traditional attribution within RV 10.10)
Devata: Yama–Yamī (twin-powers; tension between desire and dharma/ṛta)
Chandas: Triṣṭubh (probable for RV 10.10; this verse conforms broadly to Triṣṭubh cadence)

यमस्य मा यम्यं काम आगन्त्समाने योनौ सहशेय्याय । जायेव पत्ये तन्वं रिरिच्यां वि चिद्वृहेव रथ्येव चक्रा ॥

Recitation with translationRig Veda 10.10.7

yámasya mā yamyáṁ kā́ma ā́gantsamāné yónau sahaśéyyāya | jāyéva pátye tanvàṁ riricyāṁ ví cidvṛheva rathyéva cakrā́ ||

Kerinduan telah datang menimpaku kepada Yama—kepada si kembar—agar dalam rahim kesedaran yang sama kita berbaring bersama. Seperti isteri kepada suaminya aku hendak menyerahkan diri-bertubuhku; lepaskanlah dirimu, sebagaimana roda kereta dileraikan daripada alurnya.
