Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

They gaze on thee with longing in their spirit, as on a strong-winged bird that mounteth sky-ward; On thee with wings of gold, Varuna's envoy, the Bird that hasteneth to the home of Yama.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)This is the translator's rendering of the same verse where it occurs at RV 10.123.6; the wording of this text may differ in places.
