Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 12.4.40

AVŚ 12.4.40

प्रियं पशूनां भवति यद् ब्रह्मभ्यः प्रदीयते । अथो वशायास् तत् प्रियं यद् देवत्रा हविः स्यात् ॥४०॥ २२

priyaṃ paśūnāṃ bhavati yad brahmabhyaḥ pradīyate | atho vaśāyās tat priyaṃ yad devatrā haviḥ syāt ||40|| 22

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

It is a thing dear to the cattle that she is presented to the priests (brahmán); further, that is a thing dear to the cow ⌊ vaçā́ ⌋, that she be an oblation to the gods.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
