Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 6.133.3

AVŚ 6.133.3

मृत्योर् अहं ब्रह्मचारी यद् अस्मि निर्याचन् भूतात् पुरुषं यमाय । तम् अहं ब्रह्मणा तपसा श्रमेणानयैनं मेखलया सिनामि ॥३॥

mṛtyor ahaṃ brahmacārī yad asmi niryācan bhūtāt puruṣaṃ yamāya | tam ahaṃ brahmaṇā tapasā śrameṇānayainaṃ mekhalayā sināmi ||3||

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

Since I am death's student (brahmacārín), soliciting from existence (? bhūtá) a man (púruṣa) for Yama, him do I, by incantation (bráhman), by fervor, by toil, tie with this girdle.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
