Rig Veda 10.109.5: Mandala 10, Sukta 109, Mantra 5

Sukta 10.109

Rishi: Unknown/unspecified in input (traditional Anukramaṇī assigns RV 10.109 to a specific seer; not provided here)
Devata: Bṛhaspati (with Soma as enabling power); also the ideal brahmacārin as a divine function
Chandas: Triṣṭubh (probable for RV 10.109)
Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

ब्रह्मचारी चरति वेविषद्विषः स देवानां भवत्येकमङ्गम् । तेन जायामन्वविन्दद्बृहस्पतिः सोमेन नीतां जुह्वं न देवाः ॥

Sanskrit recitationRig Veda 10.109.5
Transliteration

brahmacārī́ carati véviṣad víṣaḥ sá devā́nāṁ bhavaty ékam áṅgam | ténā jāyā́m ánv avindad bṛ́haspátiḥ sómena nītā́ṁ júhvaṁ na devā́ḥ ||

Translation

Der Brahmacārin wandelt, bebend wider die giftigen Mächte; er wird ein Glied der Götter. Durch diese Kraft fand Bṛhaspati die Gattin wieder, die ihm nachgefolgt war; von Soma geführt kam sie zu den Göttern wie die Opferkelle (juhū) — tauglich zum inneren Vollzug des Opfers.
