Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 12.2.9

AVŚ 12.2.9

क्रव्यादम् अग्निम् इषितो हरामि जनान् दृंहन्तं वज्रेण मृत्युम् । नि तं शास्मि गार्हपत्येन विद्वान् पितॄणां लोके ऽपि भागो अस्तु ॥९॥

kravyādam agnim iṣito harāmi janān dṛṃhantaṃ vajreṇa mṛtyum | ni taṃ śāsmi gārhapatyena vidvān pitṝṇāṃ loke 'pi bhāgo astu ||9||

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

I, being sent, take the flesh-eating Agni, a death, making people fixed with the thunderbolt; I, knowing, separate (? ni-çās) him from the householder's fire; also in the world of the Fathers be he [their] portion.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
