RV 10.165.1

देवाः कपोत इषितो यद् इच्छन् दूतो निरृत्या इदम् आजगाम । तस्मा अर्चाम कृणवाम निष्कृतिं शं नो अस्तु द्विपदे शं चतुष्पदे ॥

devāḥ kapota iṣito yad icchan dūto nirṛtyā idam ājagāma | tasmā arcāma kṛṇavāma niṣkṛtiṃ śaṃ no astu dvipade śaṃ catuṣpade ||

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

Gods, whatsoe'er the Dove came hither seeking, sent to us as the envoy of Destruction, For that let us sing hymns and make atonement. Well be it with our quadrupeds and bipeds.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
