Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 5.11.2

AVŚ 5.11.2

न कामेन पुनर्मघो भवामि सं चक्षे कं पृश्निम् एताम् उपाजे । केन नु त्वम् अथर्वन् काव्येन केन जातेनासि जातवेदाः ॥२॥

na kāmena punarmagho bhavāmi saṃ cakṣe kaṃ pṛśnim etām upāje | kena nu tvam atharvan kāvyena kena jātenāsi jātavedāḥ ||2||

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

Not at pleasure am I a re-bestower; for examination (?) do I drive home this spotted [cow]; by what poesy (kā́vya) now, O Atharvan, [art] thou [poet]? by what that is produced (jātá) art thou jātávedas?

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
