Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 10.2.6

AVŚ 10.2.6

कः सप्त खानि वि ततर्द शीर्षणि कर्णाव् इमौ नासिके चक्षणी मुखम् । येषां पुरुत्रा विजयस्य मह्ननि चतुष्पादो द्विपदो यन्ति यामम् ॥६॥

kaḥ sapta khāni vi tatarda śīrṣaṇi karṇāv imau nāsike cakṣaṇī mukham | yeṣāṃ purutrā vijayasya mahnani catuṣpādo dvipado yanti yāmam ||6||

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

Who bored out the seven apertures in his head—these ears, the nostrils, the eyes, the mouth? in the might of whose conquest (vijayá) in many places quadrupeds [and] bipeds go their way.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
