Rig Veda 9.71.6

Sanskrit (Devanagari)

शयेनो न योनिं सदनं धिया कर्तं हिरण्ययमासदं देव एषति | ए रिणन्ति बर्हिषि परियं गिराश्वो न देवानप्येति यज्ञियः

IAST Romanisation

śyeno na yoniṃ sadanaṃ dhiyā kṛtaṃ hiraṇyayamāsadaṃ deva eṣati | e riṇanti barhiṣi priyaṃ ghirāśvo na devānapyeti yajñiyaḥ

English Translation (Griffith)

Like as a falcon to his home, so speeds the God to his own golden wisely-tashioned place to rest. With song they urge the darling to the sacred grass: the Holy One goes like a courser to the Gods.
