Sukta 9
यत्रा सुपर्णा अमृतस्य भक्षमनिमेषं विदथाभिस्वरन्ति । एना विश्वस्य भुवनस्य गोपाः स मा धीरः पाकमत्रा विवेश

Where the fair-winged chant, by sacred sessions, the unwinking portion of immortality—thereby the guardians of the whole world: may the wise one enter me here; may the unripe (simple) not enter.
Rishi: Speculative seer tradition (continuation of the two-birds complex)
Devata: Guardians (gopāḥ) of the world; Amṛta/immortality; Wisdom (dhī)
