Rig Veda · Chapter 10.165

devāḥ kapota iṣito yad icchan dūto nirṛtyā idam ājagāma |
tasmā arcāma kṛṇavāma niṣkṛtiṁ śaṁ no astu dvipade śaṁ catuṣpade ||

śivaḥ kapota iṣito no astv anāgā devāḥ śakuno gṛheṣu |
agnir hi vipro juṣatāṁ havir naḥ pari hetiḥ pakṣiṇī no vṛṇaktu ||

hetiḥ pakṣiṇī na dabhāty asmān āṣṭryām padaṁ kṛṇute agnidhāne |
śaṁ no gobhyaś ca puruṣebhyaś cāstu mā no hiṁsīd iha devāḥ kapotaḥ ||

yad ulūko vadati mogham etad yat kapotaḥ padam agnau kṛṇoti |
yasya dūtaḥ prahita eṣa etat tasmai yamāya namo astu mṛtyave ||

ṛcā kapotaṁ nudata praṇodam iṣam madantaḥ pari gāṁ nayadhvam |
saṁyopayanto duritāni viśvā hitvā na ūrjam pra patāt patiṣṭhaḥ ||
