Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 5.18.1

AVŚ 5.18.1

नैतां ते देवा अददुस् तुभ्यं नृपते अत्तवे । मा ब्राह्मणस्य राजन्य गां जिघत्सो अनाद्याम् ॥१॥

naitāṃ te devā adadus tubhyaṃ nṛpate attave | mā brāhmaṇasya rājanya gāṃ jighatso anādyām ||1||

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

Her the gods did not give thee for thee to eat, O lord of men (nṛpáti); do not thou, O noble, desire to devour (ghas) the cow of the Brahman, that is not to be eaten.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
