AVŚ 4.18.2

यो देवाः कृत्यां कृत्वा हराद् अविदुषो गृहम् । वत्सो धारुर् इव मातरं तं प्रत्यग् उप पद्यताम् ॥२॥

yo devāḥ kṛtyāṃ kṛtvā harād aviduṣo gṛham | vatso dhārur iva mātaraṃ taṃ pratyag upa padyatām ||2||

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

Whoso, O gods, having made witchcraft, shall take it to the house of one unknowing—let it, like a sucking (dhārú) calf to its mother, go back unto him.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
