Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 8.3.12

AVŚ 8.3.12

यद् अग्ने अद्य मिथुना शपातो यद् वाचस् तृष्टं जनयन्त रेभाः । मन्योर् मनसः शरव्या जायते या तया विध्य हृदये यातुधानान् ॥१२॥

yad agne adya mithunā śapāto yad vācas tṛṣṭaṃ janayanta rebhāḥ | manyor manasaḥ śaravyā jāyate yā tayā vidhya hṛdaye yātudhānān ||12||

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

What, O Agni, the pair utter in curses today, what harshness (tṛṣṭá) of speech the reciters (rebhá) produce: the shaft that is born of fury of the mind—with that pierce thou the sorcerers in the heart.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
