AVŚ 10.1.29

अनागोहत्या वै भीमा कृत्ये मा नो गाम् अश्वं पुरुषं वधीः । यत्रयत्रासि निहिता ततस् त्वोत् थापयामसि पर्णाल् लघीयसी भव ॥२९॥

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

The slaying of an innocent person is indeed fearful, O witchcraft; slay thou not our cow, horse, man; wheresoever thou art set down, from there we make thee stand up; become thou lighter than a leaf.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
