pra̱da̱kṣi̱ṇid a̱bhi gṛ̍ṇanti kā̱ravo̱ vayo̱ vada̍nta ṛtu̱thā śa̱kunta̍yaḥ |
u̱bhe vācau̍ vadati sāma̱gā i̍va gāya̱traṁ ca̱ traiṣṭu̍bha̱ṁ cānu̍ rājati ||

HERE on the right sing forth chanters of hymns of praise, even the winged birds that in due season speak. He, like: a Sâma-chanter utters both the notes, skilled in the mode of Trishṭup and of Gâyatrî.

2.43.2

u̱dgā̱teva̍ śakune̱ sāma̍ gāyasi brahmapu̱tra i̍va̱ sava̍neṣu śaṁsasi |
vṛṣe̍va vā̱jī śiśu̍matīr a̱pītyā̍ sa̱rvato̍ naḥ śakune bha̱dram ā va̍da vi̱śvato̍ naḥ śakune̱ puṇya̱m ā va̍da ||

Thou like the chanter-priest chantest the Sâma, Bird; thou singest at libations like a Brahman's son. Even as a vigorous horse when he comes near the mare, announce to us good forturue, Bird, on every side, proclaim in all directions happy luck, O Bird.

2.43.3

ā̱vada̱m̐s tvaṁ śa̍kune bha̱dram ā va̍da tū̱ṣṇīm āsī̍naḥ suma̱tiṁ ci̍kiddhi naḥ |
yad u̱tpata̱n vada̍si karka̱rir ya̍thā bṛ̱had va̍dema vi̱dathe̍ su̱vīrā̍ḥ ||

When singing here, O Bird. announce good luck to us, and when thou sittest still think on us with kind thoughts. When flying off thou singest thou art like a lute. With brave sons in assembly may we speak aloud.
