Atharva Veda 4.7.3: Kanda 4, Anuvaka 1, Sukta 7, Mantra 3
Sukta 7
क॒र॒म्भं कृ॒त्वा ति॒र्यंऽपीबस्पा॒कमु॑दार॒थिम्। क्षु॒धा किल॑ त्वा दुष्टनो जक्षि॒वान्त्स न रू॑रुपः
karambháṃ kṛtvā tiryáṅ ’pība spākám udārathím | kṣudhā́ kíla tvā duṣṭano jakṣivā́nt sá ná rūrupaḥ
Having made the karambha, drink it sideways—our easing draught: for hunger verily hath driven thee, O ill-bodied one, that hast been devouring; so do thou not work deformity.
کرمبھ بنا کر، اسے ایک طرف سے پیو، ہمارے آرام بخش نوشہ، کیونکہ بھوک نے تمہیں، اے بری شکل والے، کھاتے ہوئے بھگایا ہے، سو تم بگاڑ نہ پیدا کرو۔
