2.42.1

कनि॑क्रदज्ज॒नुषं॑ प्रब्रुवा॒ण इय॑र्ति॒ वाच॑मरि॒तेव॒ नाव॑म् | सु॒म॒ङ्गल॑श्च शकुने॒ भवा॑सि॒ मा त्वा॒ का चि॑दभि॒भा विश्व्या॑ विदत् ||

TELLING his race aloud with cries repeated, he sends his voice out as his boat a steersman. O Bird, be ominous of happy fortune from no side may calamity befall thee.

2.42.2

मा त्वा॑ श्ये॒न उद् व॑धी॒न्मा सु॑प॒र्णो मा त्वा॑ विद॒दिषु॑मान् वी॒रो अस्ता॑ | पित्र्या॒मनु॑ प्र॒दिशं॒ कनि॑क्रदत् सुम॒ङ्गलो॑ भद्रवा॒दी व॑दे॒ह ||

Let not the falcon kill thee, nor the eagle let not the arrow-bearing archer reach thee. Still crying in the region of the Fathers, speak here auspicious, bearing joyful tidings.

2.42.3

अव॑ क्रन्द दक्षिण॒तो गृ॒हाणां॑ सुम॒ङ्गलो॑ भद्रवा॒दी श॑कुन्ते | मा न॑: स्ते॒न ई॑शत॒ माघशं॑सो बृ॒हद् व॑देम वि॒दथे॑ सु॒वीरा॑: ||

Bringing good tidings, Bird of happy omen, call thou out loudly southward of our dwellings, So that no thief, no sinner may oppress us. Loud may we speak, with heroes, in assembly.
