Sanskrit recitationAtharva Veda 12.2.37

ayajñíyo hatávarcā́ bhavati náinena havír áttave | chinátti kṛṣyā́ górdhanād yáṃ kravyā́d anuvártate

Unfit for sacrifice, with splendour smitten down, he becometh; by him the oblation is not for eating: the flesh-devourer, following whom, cutteth him off from tillage and from cattle-wealth.

Ia tidak layak bagi yajña; sinarnya dipukul jatuh, demikianlah ia menjadi; oleh dia persembahan (havis) bukan untuk dimakan. Si pemakan-daging (kravyād), yang mengikutinya, memutusnya daripada bercucuk-tanam dan daripada kekayaan ternak-sapi.
