18.1.4

ná yat purā́ cakr̥mā́ kád dha nūnám r̥táṃ vádanto ánr̥taṃ rápema |
gandharvó apsv ápyā ca yóṣā sā́ nau nā́bhiḥ paramáṃ jāmí tán nau ||4||

What we (pl.) did not do formerly, why [do that] now? speaking righteousness, should we prate unrighteousness? The Gandharva in the waters and the watery woman (yóṣā)—that is our (du.) union (nā́bhi), that our ⌊du.⌋ highest relation (jāmí).

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