śyénो ná yóniṁ sádanam dhiyā́ kṛtáṁ hiraṇyáyam āsádaṁ devá éṣati | ā īm riṇanti bárhiṣi priyáṁ girā́ aśvó ná devā́n apyéti yajñíyaḥ ||

Translation

Woh baaz ki tarah apna aashiana dhoondhta hai, jo soch se banaya gaya hai. Woh sona jaisi jagah chahta hai. Log use puja ke ghaas par bitha dete hain aur pyaare shabd bolte hain. Woh tez ghode ki tarah bhagwan ke paas jaata hai, kyunki yeh bali ke layak hai.
