Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 5.18.9

AVŚ 5.18.9

तीक्ष्णेषवो ब्राह्मणा हेतिमन्तो याम् अस्यन्ति शरव्यां न सा मृषा । अनुहाय तपसा मन्युना चोत दुराद् अव भिन्दन्त्य् एनम् ॥९॥

tīkṣṇeṣavo brāhmaṇā hetimanto yām asyanti śaravyāṃ na sā mṛṣā | anuhāya tapasā manyunā cota durād ava bhindanty enam ||9||

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

The Brahmans have sharp arrows, have missiles; what volley (çaravyā̀) they hurl, it is not in vain; pursuing (anu-hā) with fervor and with fury, they split him down even from afar.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
