Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 11.2.2

AVŚ 11.2.2

शुने क्रोष्ट्रे मा शरीराणि कर्तम् अलिक्लवेभ्यो गृध्रेभ्यो ये च कृष्णा अविष्यवः । मक्षिकास् ते पशुपते वयांसि ते विघसे मा विदन्त ॥२॥

śune kroṣṭre mā śarīrāṇi kartam aliklavebhyo gṛdhrebhyo ye ca kṛṣṇā aviṣyavaḥ | makṣikās te paśupate vayāṃsi te vighase mā vidanta ||2||

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

Make ye not bodies for the dog, the jackal, for the buzzards (? alíklava), the vultures, and them that are black [and] greedy (aviṣyú); let thy flies, lord of cattle, let thy birds not find themselves at food.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
