Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 4.36.9

AVŚ 4.36.9

ये मा क्रोधयन्ति लपिता हस्तिनं मशका इव । तान् अहं मन्ये दुर्हितान् जने अल्पशयून् इव ॥९॥

ye mā krodhayanti lapitā hastinaṃ maśakā iva | tān ahaṃ manye durhitān jane alpaśayūn iva ||9||

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

They who anger me, making a noise, as flies an elephant—them I think ill off, like mites (?) on a man (jána).
