Hymn 10.10

Stanzas: 14

Addressed to: Yama and Yami

This dramatic dialogue between brother Yama and sister Yamī confronts forbidden desire. Yamī wishes to unite with Yama, but he steadfastly refuses, upholding divine law against incest, while acknowledging their unique, divinely ordained bond. A powerful myth of social boundaries.
