Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 5.11.3

AVŚ 5.11.3

सत्यम् अहं गभीरः काव्येन सत्यं जातेनास्मि जातवेदाः । न मे दासो नार्यो महित्वा व्रतं मीमाय यद् अहं धरिष्ये ॥३॥

satyam ahaṃ gabhīraḥ kāvyena satyaṃ jātenāsmi jātavedāḥ | na me dāso nāryo mahitvā vrataṃ mīmāya yad ahaṃ dhariṣye ||3||

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

I verily am profound by poesy; verily by what is produced I am jātávedas; not barbarian (dāsá), not Aryan, by his might, damageth (mī) the course which I shall maintain.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
