AVŚ 12.2.53

अविः कृष्णा भागधेयं पशूनां सीसं क्रव्याद् अपि चन्द्रं त आहुः । माषाः पिष्टा भागधेयं ते हव्यम् अरण्यान्या गह्वरं सचस्व ॥५३॥

aviḥ kṛṣṇā bhāgadheyaṃ paśūnāṃ sīsaṃ kravyād api candraṃ ta āhuḥ | māṣāḥ piṣṭā bhāgadheyaṃ te havyam araṇyānyā gahvaraṃ sacasva ||53||

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

A black ewe [is] of cattle [thy] portion; lead, too, they call thy gold (? candrá), O flesh-eating one; ground beans ⌊are⌋ thy portion [as] oblation; seek (sac) thou the thicket of the forest-spirit (araṇyānī́).

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
