Recitation with translationAtharva Veda 3.28.2

eṣā́ paśū́n sáṃ kṣiṇāti kravyā́d bhūtvā́ vyádvarī | utá ’ināṃ bráhmaṇe dadyā́t táthā syónā śivā́ syāt ||

She wasteth the cattle utterly, becoming a flesh-eater—Vyadvārī. And one should deliver her unto the Brahman; thus may she become kindly, benign.

അവൾ ക്രവ്യാദ് (മാംസാഹാരി) ആയി—വ്യദ്വാരീ—പശുക്കളെ പൂർണ്ണമായി ക്ഷയിപ്പിക്കുന്നു. അവളെ ബ്രാഹ്മണനു ഏല്പിക്കണം; അങ്ങനെ അവൾ സ്യോണാ, ശിവാ—സൗമ്യയും മംഗളകരിയും—ആകട്ടെ.
