RV 10.123.6

नाके सुपर्णम् उप यत् पतन्तं हृदा वेनन्तो अभ्य् अचक्षत त्वा । हिरण्यपक्षं वरुणस्य दूतं यमस्य योनौ शकुनम् भुरण्युम् ॥

nāke suparṇam upa yat patantaṃ hṛdā venanto abhy acakṣata tvā | hiraṇyapakṣaṃ varuṇasya dūtaṃ yamasya yonau śakunam bhuraṇyum ||

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)
