Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 5.8.4

AVŚ 5.8.4

अति धावतातिसरा इन्द्रस्य वचसा हत । अविं वृक इव मथ्नीत स वो जीवन् मा मोचि प्राणम् अस्यापि नह्यत ॥४॥

ati dhāvatātisarā indrasya vacasā hata | aviṃ vṛka iva mathnīta sa vo jīvan mā moci prāṇam asyāpi nahyata ||4||

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

Overrun (ati-dhāv), ye over-runners; slay by Indra's spell (vácas); shake (math) ye as a wolf [shakes] a sheep; let him not be released from you alive; shut up his breath.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
