18.1.14

ná vā́ u te tanū́ṃ tanvā̀ sáṃ pipr̥cyāṃ pāpám āhur yáḥ svásāraṃ nigáchāt |
ásaṃyad etán mánaso hr̥dó me bhrā́tā svásuḥ śáyane yác cháyīya ||14||

Verily, I may not mingle my body with thy body; they call him wicked (pāpá) who should approach his sister. That is not consonant (? asaṁyát) with my mind [and] heart, that I, a brother, should lie in a sister's bed (çáyana).

William Dwight Whitney 1905, Atharva-Veda Saṃhitā (HOS 7–8)
