If ⌊ca⌋ thou hast eaten it with another head than that (tátas) with which the ancient seers ate this, thy progeny, from the oldest down, will die: so one says to him; it verily I [have] not [eaten] coming hither (arvā́ñc), nor retiring, nor coming on; with Brihaspati [as] head, therewith have I eaten it, therewith have I made it go; this rice-dish, verily, is whole-limbed, whole-jointed, whole-bodied; whole-limbed, whole-jointed, whole-bodied becometh he who knoweth thus.

William Dwight Whitney 1905, Atharva-Veda Saṃhitā (HOS 7–8)
