1.GLORIFY thou Brhaspati, 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.
2 On him wait songs according to the season
even as a stream of pious men set moving.
Brhaspati-for helaid out the expanses- was, at the
sacrifice, vast Matarisvan.
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.
4 His song of praise pervades the earth and
heaven - let the wise worshipper draw it, like a courser.
These of Brhaspati, like hunters' arrows, go to the skies
that change their hue like serpents.
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: Brhaspati,
thou punishest the spiteful.
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.
7
He to whom songs of praise go forth like torrents, as rivers eddying under banks
flow sea-ward -
Brhaspati
the wise, the eager, closely looks upon both, the waters and the vessel.
8
So hath Brhaspati, 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.
