Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 4.37.11

AVŚ 4.37.11

श्वेवैकः कपिर् इवैकः कुमारः सर्वकेशकः । प्रियो दृश इव भूत्वा गन्धर्वः सचते स्त्रियस् । तम् इतो नाशयामसि ब्रह्मणा वीर्यावता ॥११॥

śvevaikaḥ kapir ivaikaḥ kumāraḥ sarvakeśakaḥ | priyo dṛśa iva bhūtvā gandharvaḥ sacate striyas | tam ito nāśayāmasi brahmaṇā vīryāvatā ||11||

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

One as it were a dog, one as it were an ape, a boy all hairy—having become as it were dear to see, the Gandharva fastens upon (sac) women; him we make disappear from here by [our] mighty (vīryàvant) incantation (bráhman).

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
