Sukta 20
दि॒व्यस्य॑ सुप॒र्णस्य॒ तस्य॑ हासि क॒नीनि॑का । सा भूमि॒मा रु॑रोहिथ व॒ह्यं श्रा॒न्ता व॒धूरि॑व
divyásya supárṇasya tásya hási kanī́nikā | sā́ bhū́mim ā́ ruróhitha vahyáṃ śrā́ntā vadhū́r iva
Of the heavenly fair-winged one—of him, indeed—thou art the eye’s pupil. Down to the earth hast thou come forth, to be borne about, wearied as it were, like a bride.
दिव्यस्य सुपर्णस्य तस्यैव त्वं कनीनिका। सा भूमिम् आरोहिथ वह्यं श्रान्ता वधूरिव॥
