Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 5.23.3

AVŚ 5.23.3

यो अक्ष्यौ परिसर्पति यो नासे परिसर्पति । दतां यो मध्यं गछति तं क्रिमिं जम्भयामसि ॥३॥

yo akṣyau parisarpati yo nāse parisarpati | datāṃ yo madhyaṃ gachati taṃ krimiṃ jambhayāmasi ||3||

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

What one creeps about his eyes, what one creeps about his nostrils, what one goes to the midst of his teeth—that worm do we grind up.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
