Rig Veda 10.40.2: Mandala 10, Sukta 40, Mantra 2
Sukta 10.40
कुह स्विद्दोषा कुह वस्तोरश्विना कुहाभिपित्वं करतः कुहोषतुः । को वां शयुत्रा विधवेव देवरं मर्यं न योषा कृणुते सधस्थ आ ॥
kúha svíd doṣā́ kúha vástoḥ aśvinā kúhābhipitváṃ karatáḥ kúhoṣatuḥ | kó vāṃ śayutrā́ vidhávéva deváraṃ máryaṃ ná yóṣā kṛṇute sadhástha ā́ ||
Where indeed are you at night, where at dawn, O Aśvins? Where do you make your close union, where do you rest? Who prepares your seat of companionship—as a widow seeks her brother-in-law, as a maiden makes ready her beloved—so that you may come to the common dwelling-place?
