RV 1.163.6

आत्मानं ते मनसाराद् अजानाम् अवो दिवा पतयन्तम् पतङ्गम् । शिरो अपश्यम् पथिभिः सुगेभिर् अरेणुभिर् जेहमानम् पतत्रि ॥

ātmānaṃ te manasārād ajānām avo divā patayantam pataṅgam | śiro apaśyam pathibhiḥ sugebhir areṇubhir jehamānam patatri ||

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

Thyself from far I recognized in spirit,--a Bird that from below flew through the heaven. I saw thy head still soaring, striving upward by paths unsoiled by dust, pleasant to travel.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
