Rig Veda 1.118.4: Mandala 1, Sukta 118, Mantra 4
Sukta 1.118
आ वां श्येनासो अश्विना वहन्तु रथे युक्तास आशवः पतंगाः । ये अप्तुरो दिव्यासो न गृध्रा अभि प्रयो नासत्या वहन्ति ॥
ā́ vāṁ śyēnā́so aśvinā vahantu ráthe yuktā́sa āśávaḥ pataṅgā́ḥ | yé aptúro divyā́so ná gṛ́dhrā abhí práyo nāsatyā vahanti ||
May the falcons carry you, O Ashvins—swift winged ones yoked to the chariot—like radiant birds of heaven. Tireless in their reaching, like eagles, they bear toward you the offering-impulse, O Nāsatyas.
