अथो॒ सर्वं॒ श्वाप॑दं॒ मक्षि॑का तृप्यतु॒ क्रिमिः॑ । पौरु॑षे॒येऽधि॒ कुण॑पे रदि॒ते अ॑र्बुदे॒ तव॑

Recitation with translationAtharva Veda 11.9.10

átho sárvaṃ śvā́padaṃ mákṣikā tṛ́pyatu krímíḥ | paúruṣeye ’dhí kúṇape radité arbúde táva ||

And further, let every beast of prey, the fly, let the worm be sated upon the human carcass—O Raditā, O Arbuda—under thy power.

और सारे जानवर जो मास खाते हैं, वो भी खुश हो जाओ। मक्खियाँ और कीड़े भी अपना पेट भर लो। यह इंसान का मरा हुआ बदन है। रदिता और अर्बुद, यह सब आपके नीचे है।
