Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 6.116.1

AVŚ 6.116.1

यद् यामं चक्रुर् निखनन्तो अग्रे कार्षीवणा अन्नविदो न विद्यया । वैवस्वते राजनि तज् जुहोम्य् अथ यज्ञियं मधुमद् अस्तु नो ऽन्नम् ॥१॥

yad yāmaṃ cakrur nikhananto agre kārṣīvaṇā annavido na vidyayā | vaivasvate rājani taj juhomy atha yajñiyaṃ madhumad astu no 'nnam ||1||

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

What that was Yama's the Kārshīvaṇas made, digging down in the beginning, food-acquiring, not with knowledge, that I make an oblation unto the king, Vivasvant's son; so let our food be sacrificial (yajñíya), rich in sweet.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
