Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 5.23.8

AVŚ 5.23.8

हतो येवाषः क्रिमीणां हतो नदनिमोत । सर्वान् नि मष्मषाकरं दृषदा खल्वां इव ॥८॥

hato yevāṣaḥ krimīṇāṃ hato nadanimota | sarvān ni maṣmaṣākaraṃ dṛṣadā khalvāṃ iva ||8||

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

Slain is the yévāsha of the worms, slain also the nadanimán; I have put them all down, smash (? maṣmaṣā́) like khálva -grains with a millstone.
