Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 3.11.8

AVŚ 3.11.8

अभि त्वा जरिमाहित गाम् उक्षणम् इव रज्ज्वा । यस् त्वा मृत्युर् अभ्यधत्त जायमानं सुपाशया । तं ते सत्यस्य हस्ताभ्याम् उद् अमुञ्चद् बृहस्पतिः ॥८॥

abhi tvā jarimāhita gām ukṣaṇam iva rajjvā | yas tvā mṛtyur abhyadhatta jāyamānaṃ supāśayā | taṃ te satyasya hastābhyām ud amuñcad bṛhaspatiḥ ||8||

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

Old age hath curbed (abhi-dhā) thee, as it were a cow, an ox, with a rope; the death that curbed thee, when born, with easy fetter—that Brihaspati released for thee, with the (two) hands of truth.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
