अति धन्वान्य् अत्य् अपस् ततर्द श्येनो नृचक्षा अवसानदर्शः । तरन् विश्वान्य् अवरा रजंसीन्द्रेण सख्या शिव आ जगम्यात्
ati dhanvāny aty apas tatarda śyeno nṛcakṣā avasānadarśaḥ | taran viśvāny avarā rajaṃsīndreṇa sakhyā śiva ā jagamyāt
Across the dry lands, across the waters he has pierced, the falcon that looks on men, that spies out the resting-place. Crossing all the lower spaces, may he come, kindly, with Indra for a friend.

Observing men, and viewing home, the Falcon hath cleft his swift way over wastes and waters. May he, with Indra for a friend, auspicious, traversing all air's lower realms, come hither.
