Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 2.42.1

RV 2.42.1

कनिक्रदज् जनुषम् प्रब्रुवाण इयर्ति वाचम् अरितेव नावम् । सुमङ्गलश् च शकुने भवासि मा त्वा का चिद् अभिभा विश्व्या विदत् ॥

kanikradaj januṣam prabruvāṇa iyarti vācam ariteva nāvam | sumaṅgalaś ca śakune bhavāsi mā tvā kā cid abhibhā viśvyā vidat ||

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

Telling his race aloud with cries repeated, he sends his voice out as his boat a steersman. O Bird, be ominous of happy fortune from no side may calamity befall thee.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
