Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 10.8.44

AVŚ 10.8.44

अकामो धीरो अमृतः स्वयंभू रसेन तृप्तो न कुतश् चनोनः । तम् एव विद्वान् न बिभाय मृत्योर् आत्मानं धीरम् अजरं युवानम् ॥४४॥ २९

akāmo dhīro amṛtaḥ svayaṃbhū rasena tṛpto na kutaś canonaḥ | tam eva vidvān na bibhāya mṛtyor ātmānaṃ dhīram ajaraṃ yuvānam ||44|| 29

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

Free from desire, wise (dhī́ra), immortal, self-existent, satisfied with sap, not deficient in any respect—knowing that wise, unaging, young soul, one is not afraid of death.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
