Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 5.18.4

AVŚ 5.18.4

निर् वै क्षत्रं नयति हन्ति वर्चो ऽग्निर् इवारब्धो वि दुनोति सर्वम् । यो ब्राह्मणं मन्यते अन्नम् एव स विषस्य पिबति तैमातस्य ॥४॥

nir vai kṣatraṃ nayati hanti varco 'gnir ivārabdho vi dunoti sarvam | yo brāhmaṇaṃ manyate annam eva sa viṣasya pibati taimātasya ||4||

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

Verily it conducts away his authority, smites his splendor; like fire taken hold of it burns up all; he who thinks the Brahman to be food, he drinks of Timātan poison.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
