Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 6.28.1

AVŚ 6.28.1

ऋचा कपोतं नुदत प्रणोदम् इषं मदन्तः परि गां नयामः । संलोभयन्तो दुरिता पदानि हित्वा न ऊर्जं प्र पदात् पथिष्ठः ॥१॥

ṛcā kapotaṃ nudata praṇodam iṣaṃ madantaḥ pari gāṃ nayāmaḥ | saṃlobhayanto duritā padāni hitvā na ūrjaṃ pra padāt pathiṣṭhaḥ ||1||

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

With the praise-verse (ṛ́ç) drive ye the dove forth (praṇódam); reveling in food (íṣ) we lead a cow about, breaking up tracks hard to go in; leaving us (our ?) sustenance shall it fly forth, swift-flying.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
