Sukta 38
अ॒हं व॑दामि॒ नेत् त्वं स॒भाया॒मह॒ त्वं वद॑ । ममेदस॒स्त्वं केव॑लो॒ नान्यासां॑ की॒र्तया॑श्च॒न
aháṃ vadāmi nét tváṃ sabhā́yāṃ ahá tváṃ vada | maméd ásas tváṃ kévalo nā́nyāsāṃ kīrtáyāś caná ||
I speak—do thou not speak in the assembly; I (speak), thou (only) speak as bidden. Thou art mine alone; of other women thou shalt not so much as make mention.
Ja mówię, nie ty mów na zgromadzeniu; ja mówię, ty mów tylko na rozkaz. Jesteś tylko mój; o innych kobietach nie będziesz nawet wspominać.
Rishi: Asurī/vaśīkaraṇa tradition
