Atharvaveda 5.19

They grew excessively; they did not quite (iva) touch up to the sky; having injured Bhrigu, the Sriñjayas, Vāitahavyas, perished.

The people who delivered up (? arpay-) the Brahman Brihatsāman, descendant of An̄giras—a he-goat with two rows of teeth, a sheep, consumed (av) their offspring (toká).

They who spat upon a Brahman, or who sent [their] mucus at him—they sit in the midst of a stream of blood, devouring hair.

The Brahman's cow, being cooked, as far as she penetrates (?), smites out the brightness (téjas) of a kingdom; no virile (vṛ́ṣan) hero is born [there].

Cruel is the cutting up of her; harsh to eat (?) is her prepared flesh (piçitám); in that the milk (kṣīrá) of her is drunk, that verily is an offense against the Fathers.

A king who thinks himself formidable, [and] who desires to devour a Brahman—that kingdom is poured away, where a Brahman is scathed (jyā).

Becoming eight-footed, four-eyed, four-eared, four-jawed, two-mouthed, two-tongued, she shakes down the kingdom of the Brahman-scather.

It leaks verily into that kingdom, as water into a split boat (nāú); where they injure a Brahman, that kingdom misfortune smites.

Him the trees drive away, saying "do not come unto our shadow," who, O Nārada, plots against that which is the riches of the Brahman.

King Varuṇa called that a god-made poison; no one soever, having devoured the cow of the Brahman, keeps watch in the kingdom.

Those same nine nineties whom the earth shook off, having injured the progeny of the Brahman, perished irretrievably.

The kūdī́ which they tie on after a dead man, as effacer (?) of the track, that verily, O Brahman-scather, did the gods call thy couch (upastáraṇa).

The tears of one weeping (kṛp), which rolled [down] when he was scathed, these verily, O Brahman-scather, did the gods maintain as thy portion of water.

With what they bathe a dead man, with what they wet (ud) beards, that verily, O Brahman-scather, did the gods maintain as thy portion of water.

The rain of Mitra-and- Varuna does not rain upon the Brahman-scather; the assembly (sámiti) does not suit (kḷp) him; he wins (nī) no friend to his control.
