Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 9.71.6

RV 9.71.6

श्येनो न योनिं सदनं धिया कृतं हिरण्ययम् आसदं देव एषति । ए रिणन्ति बर्हिषि प्रियं गिराश्वो न देवां अप्य् एति यज्ञियः ॥

śyeno na yoniṃ sadanaṃ dhiyā kṛtaṃ hiraṇyayam āsadaṃ deva eṣati | e riṇanti barhiṣi priyaṃ girāśvo na devāṃ apy eti yajñiyaḥ ||

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

Like as a falcon to his home, so speeds the God to his own golden wisely-fashioned place to rest. With song they urge the darling to the sacred grass: the Holy One goes like a courser to the Gods.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
