2.43.1
प्र॒द॒क्षि॒णिद॒भि गृ॑णन्ति का॒रवो॒ वयो॒ वद॑न्त ऋतु॒था श॒कुन्त॑यः ।
उ॒भे वाचौ॑ वदति साम॒गा इ॑व गाय॒त्रं च॒ त्रैष्टु॑भं॒ चानु॑ राजति ॥
Turning to the right, the poets praise the birds, and the birds call in their seasons. It speaks in two voices, like a singer of Sāma chants, and shines in accord with the Gāyatrī and Triṣṭubh meters.
2.43.2
उ॒द्गा॒तेव॑ शकुने॒ साम॑ गायसि ब्रह्मपु॒त्र इ॑व॒ सव॑नेषु शंससि॒ वृषे॑व वा॒जी शिशु॑मतीर॒पीत्या॑ ।
स॒र्वतो॑ नः शकुने भ॒द्रमा व॑द वि॒श्वतो॑ नः शकुने॒ पुण्य॒मा व॑द ॥
O bird, you sing the sāma like a chief singer, and you chant at the pressings like a Brahman's son. Like a bull or a vigorous stallion joined with its young, speak good fortune to us from every side; speak a sacred word to us from every side.
2.43.3
आ॒वदं॒स्त्वं श॑कुने भ॒द्रमा व॑द तू॒ष्णीमासी॑नः सुम॒तिं चि॑किद्धि नः ।
यदु॒त्पत॒न्वद॑सि कर्क॒रिर्य॑था बृ॒हद्व॑देम वि॒दथे॑ सु॒वीराः॑ ॥
O bird, speaking good fortune, speak good fortune; sitting silent, consider good will toward us. When you fly up and cry out like a hawk, may we speak great words in the contest, we who have heroic sons.
