Rig Veda Mandala II Sukta XLII Kapiñjala. 1. 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 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. 3 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. Sukta XLIII 1. HERE on the right sing forth chanters of hymns of praise, even the winged birds that in due season speak. He, like: a Sāma-chanter utters both the notes, skilled in the mode of Tṛṣṭup and of Gāyatrī. 2 Thou like the chanter-priest chantest the Sāma, Bird; thou singest at libations like a Brahmans son. Even as a vigorous horse when he comes near the mare, announce to us good fortune, Bird, on every side, proclaim in all directions happy luck, O Bird. 3 When singing here, O Bird. announce good luck to us, and when thou sittest still think on us with kind thoughts.
