Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 10.8.20

AVŚ 10.8.20

यो वै ते विद्याद् अरणी याभ्यां निर्मथ्यते वसु । स विद्वान् ज्येष्ठं मन्येत स विद्याद् ब्राह्मणं महत् ॥२०॥ २७

yo vai te vidyād araṇī yābhyāṃ nirmathyate vasu | sa vidvān jyeṣṭhaṃ manyeta sa vidyād brāhmaṇaṃ mahat ||20|| 27

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

Whoever indeed knows those two churning-sticks, with which is churned out what is good (vásu), he may think himself to know the chief thing; he may know the great bráhmaṇa ⌊neut.⌋.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
