Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 5.29.4

AVŚ 5.29.4

अक्ष्यौ नि विध्य हृदयं नि विध्य जिह्वां नि तृन्द्धि प्र दतो मृणीहि । पिशाचो अस्य यतमो जघासाग्ने यविष्ठ प्रति शृणीहि ॥४॥

akṣyau ni vidhya hṛdayaṃ ni vidhya jihvāṃ ni tṛnddhi pra dato mṛṇīhi | piśāco asya yatamo jaghāsāgne yaviṣṭha prati śṛṇīhi ||4||

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

Pierce thou into his eyes, pierce into his heart, bore into his tongue, destroy (pra-mṛ) his teeth; whatsoever piçācá hath devoured of him, that one, O Agni, youngest [god], do thou crush back.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
