Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 12.4.34

AVŚ 12.4.34

यथाज्यं प्रगृहीतम् आलुम्पेत् स्रुचो अग्नये । एवा ह ब्रह्मभ्यो वशाम् अग्नय आ वृश्चते ऽददत् ॥३४॥

yathājyaṃ pragṛhītam ālumpet sruco agnaye | evā ha brahmabhyo vaśām agnaya ā vṛścate 'dadat ||34||

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

As one might snatch (? ā-lup) from the spoon sacrificial butter held forth for the fire, so he who gives not the cow ⌊ vaçā́ ⌋ ⌊to the priests⌋ falls under the wrath of Agni.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
