tā ā̱tayo̱ na ta̱nva̍ḥ śumbhata̱ svā aśvā̍so̱ na krī̱ḻayo̱ danda̍śānāḥ ||

When, loving these Immortal Ones, the mortal hath converse with the nymphs as they allow him. Like swans they show the beauty of their bodies, like horses in their play they bite and nibble.

Ralph T. H. Griffith 1889, The Hymns of the Rigveda
