Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 2.5.7

AVŚ 2.5.7

वृषायमाणो अवृणीत सोमं त्रिकद्रुकेषु अपिबत् सुतस्य । आ सायकं मघवादत्त वज्रम् अहन्न् एनं प्रथमजाम् अहीनाम् ॥७॥

vṛṣāyamāṇo avṛṇīta somaṃ trikadrukeṣu apibat sutasya | ā sāyakaṃ maghavādatta vajram ahann enaṃ prathamajām ahīnām ||7||

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

Acting like a bull, he chose the soma; he drank of the pressed [draught] in the tríkadrukas; the bounteous one (maghávan) took his missile thunderbolt; he slew that first-born of dragons.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
