Sukta 13
बृह॑स्पते॒ परि॑ दीया॒ रथे॑न रक्षो॒हामित्राँ॑ अप॒बाध॑मानः । प्र॒भ॒ञ्जंछत्रू॑न् प्रमृ॒णन्न॒मित्रा॑न॒स्माक॑मेध्यवि॒ता त॒नूना॑म्
bṛ́haspate pári dīyā́ ráthena rakṣohā́mitrā́m̐ apabā́dhamānaḥ | prabhañjáñ chátrūn pramṛṇán amítrān asmā́kam edhyavitā́ tanū́nām
O Bṛhaspati, course round about with thy chariot, rákṣas-slayer, repelling the foes; shattering the enemies, crushing down the non-friends—be thou the increaser of our bodies, our folk.
Oh Bṛhaspati, recorre en torno con tu carro, matador de Rakṣas, rechazando a los enemigos; quebrantando a los adversarios, aplastando a los no-amigos: sé para nosotros acrecentador de los cuerpos, acrecentador de nuestro linaje.
