AVŚ 12.2.38

मुहुर् गृध्यैः प्र वदत्य् आर्तिम् मर्त्यो नीत्य । क्रव्याद् यान् अग्निर् अन्तिकाद् अनुविद्वान् वितावति ॥३८॥

muhur gṛdhyaiḥ pra vadaty ārtim martyo nītya | kravyād yān agnir antikād anuvidvān vitāvati ||38||

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

A mortal, going down to mishap, speaks forth repeatedly with greedy ones (? gṛ́dhya); whom (pl.) the flesh-eating Agni, from near by, after-knowing, follows (? vi-tāv).

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
