य उ॒भाभ्यां॑ प्र॒हर॑सि॒ पुच्छे॑न चा॒स्येऽन च । आ॒स्ये॒३ न ते॑ वि॒षं किमु॑ ते पुच्छ॒धाव॑सत्
yá ubhā́bhyāṃ prahárasi púccheṇa cāsyèna ca | āsyè ná te viṣáṃ kím u te pucchadhā́vasat ||
Thou that strikest with both, with tail and also with mouth—within thy mouth is no venom: what venom then is thine, O tail-rushing one?
Engkau yang memukul dengan keduanya, dengan ekor dan juga dengan mulut—di dalam mulutmu tiada bisa; maka bisa apakah yang ada padamu, wahai yang melesat dengan ekor?
Rishi: Unspecified (Atharvanic)
Devata: Anti-venom brahman directed against the tail-stinger
