Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 4.3.7

AVŚ 4.3.7

यत् संयमो न वि यमो वि यमो यन् न संयमः । इन्द्रजाः सोमजा आथर्वणम् असि व्याघ्रजम्भनम् ॥७॥

yat saṃyamo na vi yamo vi yamo yan na saṃyamaḥ | indrajāḥ somajā ātharvaṇam asi vyāghrajambhanam ||7||

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

What thou contractest (sam-yam) mayest thou not protract (vi-yam); mayest thou protract what thou dost not contract; Indra-born, soma-born art thou, an Atharvan tiger-crusher (-jámbhana).

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
