10.165.1
देवाः॑ क॒पोत॑ इषि॒तो यदि॒च्छन्दू॒तो निरृ॑त्या इ॒दमा॑ज॒गाम॑ ।
तस्मा॑ अर्चाम कृ॒णवा॑म॒ निष्कृ॑तिं॒ शं नो॑ अस्तु द्वि॒पदे॒ शं चतु॑ष्पदे ॥
O gods, the dove sent forth as messenger of Nirṛti has come here, wishing for us. For it let us honour and make expiation; may there be welfare for the biped and welfare for the quadruped.
10.165.2
शि॒वः क॒पोत॑ इषि॒तो नो॑ अस्तु अना॒गा दे॑वाः शकु॒नो गृ॒हेषु॑ ।
अ॒ग्निर्हि विप्रो॑ जु॒षतां॑ ह॒विर्नः॒ परि॑ हे॒तिः प॒क्षिणी॑ नो वृणक्तु ॥
May the dove sent forth be auspicious for us; O gods, though a bird in the houses, may it not harm us. Surely the wise Agni accept our oblation; may the winged missile ward off from us.
10.165.3
हे॒तिः प॒क्षिणी॒ न द॑भात्य॒स्माना॒ष्ट्र्यां प॒दं कृ॑णुते अग्नि॒धाने॑ ।
शं नो॒ गोभ्य॑श्च॒ पुरु॑षेभ्यश्चास्तु॒ मा नो॑ हिंसीदि॒ह दे॑वाः क॒पोतः॑ ॥
May the winged missile not strike us; it sets its step in the fire-place. Let there be welfare for cows and for men; O gods, may the dove not harm us here.
10.165.4
यदुलू॑को॒ वद॑ति मो॒घमे॒तद्यत्क॒पोतः॑ प॒दम॒ग्नौ कृ॒णोति॑ ।
यस्य॑ दू॒तः प्रहि॑त ए॒ष ए॒तत्तस्मै॑ य॒माय॒ नमो॑ अस्तु मृ॒त्यवे॑ ॥
When the owl speaks this idle word, and when the dove sets its step in the fire; homage be to Yama, to whose messenger this is sent, homage to Death.
10.165.5
ऋ॒चा क॒पोतं॑ नुदत प्र॒णोद॒मिषं॒ मद॑न्तः॒ परि॒ गां न॑यध्वम् ।
सं॒यो॒पय॑न्तो दुरि॒तानि॒ विश्वा॑ हि॒त्वा न॒ ऊर्जं॒ प्र प॑ता॒त्पति॑ष्ठः ॥
Drive away the dove with the verse; driving it off, lead the cattle around in joy. Gathering all evils and leaving them, may our vigour grow; let the lord fly forth.
