su̱ma̱ṅgala̍ś ca śakune̱ bhavā̍si̱ mā tvā̱ kā ci̍d abhi̱bhā viśvyā̍ vidat ||
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.
2.42.2
mā tvā̍ śye̱na ud va̍dhī̱n mā su̍pa̱rṇo mā tvā̍ vida̱d iṣu̍mān vī̱ro astā̍ |
pitryā̱m anu̍ pra̱diśa̱ṁ kani̍kradat suma̱ṅgalo̍ bhadravā̱dī va̍de̱ha ||
Let not the falcon kill thee, nor the eagle let not the arrow-bearing archer reach thee. Still crying in the region of the Fathers, speak here auspicious, bearing joyful tidings.
2.42.3
ava̍ kranda dakṣiṇa̱to gṛ̱hāṇā̍ṁ suma̱ṅgalo̍ bhadravā̱dī śa̍kunte |
mā na̍ḥ ste̱na ī̍śata̱ māghaśa̍ṁso bṛ̱had va̍dema vi̱dathe̍ su̱vīrā̍ḥ ||
Bringing good tidings, Bird of happy omen, call thou out loudly southward of our dwellings, So that no thief, no sinner may oppress us. Loud may we speak, with heroes, in assembly.
