Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 6.16.2

AVŚ 6.16.2

विहह्लो नाम ते पिता मदावती नाम ते माता । स हिन त्वम् असि यस् त्वम् आत्मानम् आवयः ॥२॥

vihahlo nāma te pitā madāvatī nāma te mātā | sa hina tvam asi yas tvam ātmānam āvayaḥ ||2||

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

Vihálha by name is thy father, madávatī ('intoxicated') by name is thy mother; for thou art he, not thyself, thou that didst consume thyself.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
