amū́n hetíḥ patatríṇī ny ètu yád úlūko vádati moghám etát |
yád vā kapóta padám agnáu kr̥ṇóti ||1||
Them yonder let the winged missile come upon; what the owl utters, [be] that to no purpose, or that the dove makes its track (padá) at the fire.
6.29.2
yáu te dūtáu nirr̥ta idám etó 'prahitau práhitau vā gr̥háṃ naḥ |
kapotolūkā́bhyām ápadaṃ tád astu ||2||
Thy two messengers, O perdition, that come hither, not sent forth or sent forth, to our house—for the dove and owl be this no place.
6.29.3
avairahatyā́yedám ā́ papatyāt suvīrátāyā idám ā́ sasadyāt |
párāṅ evá párā vada párācīm ánu saṃvátam |
yáthā yamásya tvā gr̥hé 'rasáṃ praticā́kaśān ābhū́kaṃ praticā́kaśān ||3||
May it fly hither in order to non-destruction of heroes; may it settle (ā-sad) here in order to abundance of heroes; turned away, do thou speak away, toward a distant stretch (? saṁvát); so that in Yama's house they may look upon thee [as] sapless, may look upon [thee as] empty (ābhū́ka).
