Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 12.2.39

AVŚ 12.2.39

ग्राह्या गृहाः सं सृज्यन्ते स्त्रिया यन् म्रियते पतिः । ब्रह्मैव विद्वान् एष्यो यः क्रव्यादं निरादधत् ॥३९॥

grāhyā gṛhāḥ saṃ sṛjyante striyā yan mriyate patiḥ | brahmaiva vidvān eṣyo yaḥ kravyādaṃ nirādadhat ||39||

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

The houses are united with seizure (grā́hi) when a woman's husband dies; a knowing priest (brahmán) is to be sought, who shall remove the flesh-eating one.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
