Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 5.17.7

AVŚ 5.17.7

ये गर्भा अवपद्यन्ते जगद् यच् चापलुप्यते । वीरा ये तृह्यन्ते मिथो ब्रह्मजाया हिनस्ति तान् ॥७॥

ye garbhā avapadyante jagad yac cāpalupyate | vīrā ye tṛhyante mitho brahmajāyā hinasti tān ||7||

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

What embryos are aborted (ava-pad), what living creatures (jágat) are torn away (apa-lup), what heroes are mutually shattered—them the Brahman's wife injures.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
