Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 5.17.6

AVŚ 5.17.6

देवा वा एतस्याम् अवदन्त पूर्वे सप्तऋषयस् तपसा ये निषेदुः । भीमा जाया ब्राह्मणस्यापनीता दुर्धां दधाति परमे व्योमन् ॥६॥

devā vā etasyām avadanta pūrve saptaṛṣayas tapasā ye niṣeduḥ | bhīmā jāyā brāhmaṇasyāpanītā durdhāṃ dadhāti parame vyoman ||6||

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

The gods of old verily spoke about her, the seven seers who sat down with penance (tápas); fearful [is] the wife of the Brahman when led away; she makes (dhā) discomfort (durdhā́) in the highest firmament (vyòman).

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
