1,190 Bṛhaspati 
1.CXC Bṛhaspati 
anarvā́ṇaṃ vr̥ṣabhám mandrájihvam bŕ̥haspátiṃ vardhayā návyam arkaíḥ |
gāthāníyaḥ surúco yásya devā́ āśr̥ṇvánti návamānasya mártāḥ || 
1 GLORIFY thou Bṛhaspati, the scatheless, who must be praised with hymns, sweet-tongued and mighty, To whom as leader of the song, resplendent, worthy of lauds, both Gods and mortals listen. 
tám r̥tvíyā úpa vā́caḥ sacante sárgo ná yó devayatā́m ásarji |
bŕ̥haspátiḥ sá hí áñjo várāṃsi víbhvā́bhavat sám r̥té mātaríśvā || 
2 On him wait songs according to the season even as a stream of pious men set moving. Bṛhaspati—for he laid out the expanses—was, at the sacrifice, vast Mātariśvan. 
úpastutiṃ námasa údyatiṃ ca ślókaṃ yaṃsat savitéva prá bāhū́ |
asyá krátvā ahaníyo yó ásti mr̥gó ná bhīmó 'rakṣásas° túviṣmān || 
3 The praise, the verse that offers adoration, may he bring forth, as the Sun sends his arms out, He who gives daily light through this God's wisdom, strong as a dread wild beast, and inoffensive. 
asyá ślóko divī́yate pr̥thivyā́m átyo ná yaṃsad yakṣabhŕ̥d vícetāḥ |
mr̥gā́ṇāṃ ná hetáyo yánti cemā́ bŕ̥haspáter áhimāyām̐ abhí dyū́n || 
4 His song of praise pervades the earth and heaven: let the wise worshipper draw it, like a courser. These of Bṛhaspati, like hunters' arrows, go to the skies that change their hue like serpents. 
yé tvā deva usrikám mányamānāḥ pāpā́ bhadrám upajī́vanti pajrā́ḥ |
ná dūḍhíye ánu dadāsi vāmám bŕ̥haspate cáyasa ít píyārum || 
5 Those, God, who count thee as a worthless bullock, and, wealthy sinners, live on thee the Bounteous, —On fools like these no blessing thou bestowest: Bṛhaspati, thou punishest the spiteful. 
supraétuḥ sūyávaso ná pánthā durniyántuḥ páriprīto ná mitráḥ |
anarvā́ṇo abhí yé cákṣate no ápīvr̥tā aporṇuvánto asthuḥ || 
6 Like a fair path is he, where grass is pleasant, though hard to win, a Friend beloved most early. Those who unharmed by enemies behold us, while they would make them bare, stood closely compassed. 
sáṃ yáṃ stúbho avánayo ná yánti samudráṃ ná sraváto ródhacakrāḥ |
sá vidvā́m̐ · ubháyaṃ caṣṭe antár bŕ̥haspátis tára ā́paś ca gŕ̥dhraḥ || 
7 He to whom songs of praise go forth like torrents, as rivers eddying under banks flow sea-ward—Bṛhaspati the wise, the eager, closely looks upon both, the waters and the vessel. 
evā́ mahás tuvijātás túviṣmān bŕ̥haspátir vr̥ṣabhó dhāyi deváḥ |
sá na stutó vīrávad dhātu gómad vidyā́meṣáṃ vr̥jánaṃ jīrádānum || 
8 So hath Bṛhaspati, great, strong and mighty, the God exceeding powerful, been brought hither. May he thus lauded give us kine and horses. May we find strengthening food in full abundance.
