Atharva Veda 13.3.3: Kanda 13, Anuvaka 1, Sukta 3, Mantra 3
Sukta 3
यो मा॒रय॑ति प्रा॒णय॑ति॒ यस्मा॑त् प्रा॒णन्ति॒ भुव॑नानि॒ विश्वा॒ तस्य॑ दे॒वस्य॑। क्रु॒द्धस्यै॒तदागो॒ य ए॒वं वि॒द्वांसं॑ ब्राह्म॒णं जि॒नाति॑ । उद् वे॑पय रोहित॒ प्र क्षि॑णीहि ब्रह्म॒ज्यस्य॒ प्रति॑ मुञ्च॒ पाशा॑न्
yó mā́rayati prāṇáyati yásmāt prā́ṇanti bhúvanāni víśvā tásya devásya | krúddhasyáitád ā́go yá eváṃ vidvā́ṃsaṃ brāhmaṇáṃ jinā́ti | úd vepaya rohita prá kṣiṇīhi brahmajyásya práti muñca pā́śān
He who slays and he who makes to live, from whom all worlds draw breath—of that god, when angered, this is the offence: he who, knowing thus, wrongs a learned Brahmin. Up, make him tremble, O Rohita; waste him away: against the brahma-injurer loose forth the nooses.
Dia yang membunuh dan Dia yang menghidupkan; dari-Nya semua alam semesta bernafas—itulah dewa itu. Bila Ia murka, inilah dosa: orang yang, mengetahui demikian, menzalimi seorang Brahmana yang berilmu. Bangkitkanlah ia hingga gemetar, wahai Rohita; susutkanlah dia: terhadap si perusak-brahman (brahma-jya) lepaskanlah jerat-jerat itu.
