Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 5.19.5

AVŚ 5.19.5

क्रूरम् अस्या आशसनं तृष्टं पिशितम् अस्यते । क्षीरं यद् अस्याः पीयते तद् वै पितृषु किल्बिषम् ॥५॥

krūram asyā āśasanaṃ tṛṣṭaṃ piśitam asyate | kṣīraṃ yad asyāḥ pīyate tad vai pitṛṣu kilbiṣam ||5||

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

Cruel is the cutting up of her; harsh to eat (?) is her prepared flesh (piçitám); in that the milk (kṣīrá) of her is drunk, that verily is an offense against the Fathers.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
