Rig Veda 9.71.6: Mandala 9, Sukta 71, Mantra 6
Sukta 9.71
श्येनो न योनिं सदनं धिया कृतं हिरण्ययमासदं देव एषति । ए रिणन्ति बर्हिषि प्रियं गिराश्वो न देवाँ अप्येति यज्ञियः ॥
śyénो ná yóniṁ sádanam dhiyā́ kṛtáṁ hiraṇyáyam āsádaṁ devá éṣati | ā īm riṇanti bárhiṣi priyáṁ girā́ aśvó ná devā́n apyéti yajñíyaḥ ||
Like a falcon he seeks his nest, the seat fashioned by vision—a golden resting-place the god desires. They set him moving on the sacred grass with the beloved word; like a swift horse he goes toward the gods, worthy of the offering.
