Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 1.11.4

AVŚ 1.11.4

नेव मांसे न पीवसि नेव मज्जस्व् आहतम् । अवैतु पृश्नि शेवलं शुने जराय्व् अत्तवे ऽव जरायु पद्यताम् ॥४॥

neva māṃse na pīvasi neva majjasv āhatam | avaitu pṛśni śevalaṃ śune jarāyv attave 'va jarāyu padyatām ||4||

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

Not as it were stuck (ā́hata) in the flesh, not in the fat, not as it were in the marrows, let the spotted slimy (?) afterbirth come down, for the dog to eat; let the afterbirth descend.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
