The messengers of restraint, knowing and perceiving, encircle the ends with tearful care. The messenger comes; the radiant chest of the found ones ascends, leading the openings to the sky.

You who are all-knowing understand the functions of a messenger (of the gods) at the sacrifice; well informed of both heaven and earth and the intermediate (firmament), and a most intelligent, ancient, and amplifying envoy, you go up the ascents of heaven.

Bird of each rite, skilled in an envoy's duties, knowing both worlds and that which lies between them, Thou goest from of old a willing Herald, knowing full well heaven's innermost recesses.
