Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 12.4.43

AVŚ 12.4.43

कति नु वशा नारद यास् त्वं वेत्थ मनुष्यजाः । तास् त्वा पृछामि विद्वांसं कस्या नाश्नीयाद् अब्राह्मणः ॥४३॥

kati nu vaśā nārada yās tvaṃ vettha manuṣyajāḥ | tās tvā pṛchāmi vidvāṃsaṃ kasyā nāśnīyād abrāhmaṇaḥ ||43||

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

How many, pray (nú), Nārada, are the cows which thou knowest, born among men (manuṣyà-)? those I ask of thee who knowest; of which may a non-Brahman not partake (aç)?

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
