bráhmajyeṣṭhā sáṃbhr̥tā vīryā̀ṇi bráhmā́gre jyéṣṭhaṃ dívam ā́ tatāna |
bhūtā́nāṃ brahmā́ prathamótá jajñe ténārhati bráhmaṇā spárdhituṃ káḥ ||30||

Heroisms were gathered with the bráhman as chief; the bráhman as chief in the beginning stretched the sky; the Brahmán was born as first of creatures; therefore who is fit to contend with the Brahmán?

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