Devata: Bṛhaspati (with royal/Indraic sovereignty imagery)
Chandas: Triṣṭubh

स इद्राजा प्रतिजन्यानि विश्वा शुष्मेण तस्थावभि वीर्येण । बृहस्पतिं यः सुभृतं बिभर्ति वल्गूयति वन्दते पूर्वभाजम् ॥

sa íd rājā́ práti-janyā́ni víśvā śúṣmeṇa tasthāv abhí vī́ryeṇa | bṛ́haspátiṃ yáḥ su-bhṛ́taṃ bibhárti valgūyáti vándate pū́rva-bhā́jam ||

إنه حقًّا يصير ملكًا: بقوة التوهّج الباطني (śuṣma) وبالقدرة البطولية (vīrya) يقف فوق كلّ المواليد والخصوم المطالبين. ومن يحمل في داخله بْرِهَسْبَتِي المصونَ حسنَ الحفظ (subhṛta) يفرح ويُبجِّل «القاسمَ الأوّل» القديم (pūrvabhāj).
