Sukta 2.43
उद्गातेव शकुने साम गायसि ब्रह्मपुत्र इव सवनेषु शंससि । वृषेव वाजी शिशुमतीरपीत्या सर्वतो नः शकुने भद्रमा वद विश्वतो नः शकुने पुण्यमा वद ॥
udgātéva śakune sā́ma gāyasi brahmaputrá iva sávaneṣu śaṃsasi | vṛ́ṣeva vājī́ śiśumatīr apī́tyā sarvátō naḥ śakune bhadrám ā́ vada viśvátō naḥ śakune púṇyam ā́ vada ||
Like an Udgātṛ, O bird, you sing the Sāman; like a son of the sacred Word, you proclaim in the pressings. Like a bull, like a vigorous racer, coming to the young and growing powers, speak to us the good from every side; speak to us the fortunate and purifying from all directions.
