Transliteration

sáṃ góbhir āṅgirasó nákṣamāṇo bhága ivéd aryamáṇaṃ nināya | jáne mitró na dámpatī anakti bṛ́haspate vājáyāśū́ṃr ivājáu ||

Translation

Mit den Lichtstrahlen schreitet der Aṅgiras, das Ziel erreichend, voran; wie Bhaga führt er Aryaman weiter. Wie Mitra unter den Menschen salbt er die beiden Herren des Hauses; o Bṛhaspati, treibe uns zur Fülle — wie die Schnellen im Kampf.
