Over the waste-lands, over the waters, hath the Falcon forced his passage—keen-eyed for men, beholding the resting-place; crossing all the lower realms of space, in friendship with Indra, auspicious may he come hither.
एक चिड़िया है जो उड़कर आस-पास के रास्ते पार करती है। उसकी आँखें लोगों को देखने के लिए तेज हैं। वो नीचे की दुनिया को पार करती है। इंद्र उसका दोस्त है। वो अच्छे से यहाँ आए।
