Atharvaveda Samhita — Kanda 7 — Chapter 36

AV 7 36.1

अक्ष्यौ नौ मधुसंकाशे अनीकम् नौ समञ्जनम् । अन्तः कृष्णुष्व मां हृदि मन इन् नौ सहासति

akṣyau nau madhusaṃkāśe anīkam nau samañjanam | antaḥ kṛṣṇuṣva māṃ hṛdi mana in nau sahāsati

Our two eyes have the look of honey, our face is (as) ointment; make me within your heart; let our mind indeed be together.

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

Sweet are the glances of our eyes, our faces are as smooth as balm, Within thy bosom harbour me; one spirit dwell in both of us!

— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1895–96)
