Atharva Veda
To win a woman
yathāyaṃ vāho aśvinā samaiti saṃ ca vartate evā mām abhi te manaḥ samaitu saṃ ca vartatām
To win a woman
As this draft-horse (vāhá), O Açvins, comes together and moves together [with his mate], so unto me let thy mind come together and move together.
āhaṃ khidāmi te mano rājāśvaḥ pṛṣṭyām iva reṣmachinnam yathā tṛṇaṃ mayi te veṣṭatāṃ manaḥ
I drag along (ā-khid) thy mind, as a king-horse a side-mare (?); like grass cut by a whirlwind, let thy mind twine itself to me.
āñjanasya madughasya kuṣṭhasya naladasya ca turo bhagasya hastābhyām anurodhanam ud bhare
Of ointment, of madúgha, of kúṣṭha, and of nard, by the hands of Bhaga, I bring up quick a means of subjection.
