That which is given to me as Brahman’s portion—the bridal garment, the bride’s cloth—this, approving, ye two have given unto the Brahman, O Bṛhaspati, and Indra together.
जो मुझे ब्रह्म-भाग के रूप में दिया गया है—वधू का विवाह-वस्त्र, वधू का परिधान—उसको, अनुमोदन करते हुए, तुम दोनों ने ब्राह्मण को दिया है—हे बृहस्पति और इन्द्र, साथ-साथ।
