Library·Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka)·6·6.49·6.49.1
नहि ते अग्ने तन्वः क्रूरम् आनंश मर्त्यः । कपिर् बभस्ति तेजनं स्वं जरायु गौर् इव ॥१॥
nahi te agne tanvaḥ krūram ānaṃśa martyaḥ | kapir babhasti tejanaṃ svaṃ jarāyu gaur iva ||1||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Surely no mortal, O Agni, hath attained the cruelty of thy self (tanū́). The ape gnaws (bhas) the shaft (téjana), as a cow her own after-birth.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
