Library·Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka)·6·6.140
यौ व्याघ्राव् अवरूधौ जिघत्सतः पितरं मातरं च । तौ दन्तं ब्रह्मणस् पते शिवौ कृणु जातवेदः ॥१॥
yau vyāghrāv avarūdhau jighatsataḥ pitaraṃ mātaraṃ ca | tau dantaṃ brahmaṇas pate śivau kṛṇu jātavedaḥ ||1||
The (two) tigers that, having grown down, desire to devour father and mother—those (two) teeth, O Brahmaṇaspati, make thou propitious, O Jātavedas.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
व्रीहिम् अत्तं यवम् अत्तम् अथो माषम् अथो तिलम् । एष वां भागो निहितो रत्नधेयाय दन्तौ मा हिंसिष्टं पितरम् मातरं च ॥२॥
vrīhim attaṃ yavam attam atho māṣam atho tilam | eṣa vāṃ bhāgo nihito ratnadheyāya dantau mā hiṃsiṣṭaṃ pitaram mātaraṃ ca ||2||
Eat ye (two) rice; eat ye barley; then beans, then sesame; this is your deposited (níhita) portion for treasuring, ye (two) teeth; do not injure father and mother.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
उपहूतौ सयुजौ स्योनौ दन्तौ सुमङ्गलौ । अन्यत्र वां घोरं तन्वः परैतु दन्तौ मा हिंसिष्टं पितरं मातरं च ॥३॥
upahūtau sayujau syonau dantau sumaṅgalau | anyatra vāṃ ghoraṃ tanvaḥ paraitu dantau mā hiṃsiṣṭaṃ pitaraṃ mātaraṃ ca ||3||
Invoked [are] the two conjoint, pleasant, very propitious teeth; let what is terrible of your selves (tanū́) go away elsewhere, ye teeth; do not injure father and mother.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
