AVŚ 12.4.20

देवा वशाम् अयाचन् मुखं कृत्वा ब्राह्मणम् । तेषां सर्वेषाम् अददद् धेडं न्य् एति मानुषः ॥२०॥ २०

devā vaśām ayācan mukhaṃ kṛtvā brāhmaṇam | teṣāṃ sarveṣām adadad dheḍaṃ ny eti mānuṣaḥ ||20|| 20

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

The gods asked for the cow, having made the Brahman their mouth; the wrath (héḍa) of them all incurs (ni-i) the man (mā́nuṣa) who gives not.
