Sukta 6.73
Bharadvāja Bārhaspatya (traditional for this Bṛhaspati hymn cluster)
Bṛhaspati
Triṣṭubh (probable)
Yah sukta Brihaspati ki tarif karta hai. Woh Rta ka pehla beta hai. Woh patthar tod kar rasta banata hai. Woh kile tod deta hai. Woh space, paani, roshni aur gayen deta hai. Uski awaaz dono duniya tak jati hai. Uske arka shaktishali hote hain. Hum use safalta aur suraksha ke liye bulate hain.
Mantra 1
यो अद्रिभित्प्रथमजा ऋतावा बृहस्पतिराङ्गिरसो हविष्मान् । द्विबर्हज्मा प्राघर्मसत्पिता न आ रोदसी वृषभो रोरवीति ॥
Brihaspati patthar todne wale hain. Satya se paida huye pehle. Angiras rishiyon mein se hain. Yagya mein samajhte hain. Do duniya ke liye baap jaise hain. Bail ki tarah zor se goonjte hain.
Mantra 2
जनाय चिद्य ईवत उ लोकं बृहस्पतिर्देवहूतौ चकार । घ्नन्वृत्राणि वि पुरो दर्दरीति जयञ्छत्रूँरमित्रान्पृत्सु साहन् ॥
Brihaspati ne mehnat karne wale ke liye jagah bana di. Bhagwan ke bulawe par kaam karte hain. Raste mein aane wale ko maarte hain. Kile tod dete hain. Dushman ko hara dete hain. Ladaai mein jeet lete hain.
Mantra 3
बृहस्पतिः समजयद्वसूनि महो व्रजान्गोमतो देव एषः । अपः सिषासन्त्स्वरप्रतीतो बृहस्पतिर्हन्त्यमित्रमर्कैः ॥
Brihaspati ne dhan jeeta. Bade-bade gaayon ke jhund. Paani ke liye ichchha rakhte hain. Surya ki roshni tak pahunchte hain. Dushman ko mantra ke zor se maarte hain.
He is the divine lord of sacred speech and priestly power, praised as the breaker of obstructions who wins space, light, waters, and prosperity through the force of mantra aligned with Ṛta.
On the outer level it evokes defeating enemies and opening hidden wealth; on the inner level it points to removing mental and spiritual blockages so clarity, strength, and right action can emerge.
Breakthrough and protection: Bṛhaspati is invoked to destroy hostile forces, create a supportive ‘loka’ (room to live and act), and grant wealth, cattle, waters, and the light of svar.
