AVŚ 12.4.10

जायमानाभि जायते देवान्त् सब्राह्मणान् वशा । तस्माद् ब्रह्मभ्यो देयैषा तद् आहुः स्वस्य गोपनम् ॥१०॥ १९

jāyamānābhi jāyate devānt sabrāhmaṇān vaśā | tasmād brahmabhyo deyaiṣā tad āhuḥ svasya gopanam ||10|| 19

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

When being born, the cow (vaçā́) is born for (abhí) the gods together with the Brahmans; therefore she is to be given to the priests (brahmán); that people call the guarding (gópana) of one's possessions.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
