Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 10.165.4

RV 10.165.4

यद् उलूको वदति मोघम् एतद् यत् कपोतः पदम् अग्नौ कृणोति । यस्य दूतः प्रहित एष एतत् तस्मै यमाय नमो अस्तु मृत्यवे ॥

yad ulūko vadati mogham etad yat kapotaḥ padam agnau kṛṇoti | yasya dūtaḥ prahita eṣa etat tasmai yamāya namo astu mṛtyave ||

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

The screeching of the owl is ineffective and when beside the fire the Dove hath settled, To him who sent it hither as an envoy, to him be reverence paid, to Death, to Yama.
