अव॑ क्रन्द दक्षिण॒तो गृ॒हाणां॑ सुम॒ङ्गलो॑ भद्रवा॒दी श॑कुन्ते । मा नः॑ स्ते॒न ई॑शत॒ माघशं॑सो बृ॒हद्व॑देम वि॒दथे॑ सु॒वीराः॑

Do not cry out from the south among the houses, O bird; auspicious birds with felicitous omens, do not bring to us the stealthy lament of Magha’s tidings; great‑voiced poets and brave men are our protectors in assembly.
