Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 12.4.7

AVŚ 12.4.7

यद् अस्याः कस्मै चिद् भोगाय बालान् कश् चित् प्रकृन्तति । ततः किशोरा म्रियन्ते वत्सांश् च घातुको वृकः ॥७॥

yad asyāḥ kasmai cid bhogāya bālān kaś cit prakṛntati | tataḥ kiśorā mriyante vatsāṃś ca ghātuko vṛkaḥ ||7||

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

If, for any one's advantage, any one cuts off the tail-tuft of her, then his colts die, and the wolf slays his calves.
