Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 8.5.11

AVŚ 8.5.11

उत्तमो अस्य् ओषधीनाम् अनड्वान् जगताम् इव व्याघ्रः श्वपदाम् इव ।

uttamo asy oṣadhīnām anaḍvān jagatām iva vyāghraḥ śvapadām iva |

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

Thou art the chief (uttamá) of herbs, as the ox of moving creatures (jágat), as the tiger of wild beasts (çvápad); whom we sought, him have we found, a watcher near at hand (?).

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
