He who with might propped wide the earth’s far ends—Bṛhaspati, triple-seated, with his roar: him the seers of old, the kindled sages, the inspired, set in the forefront, gladdening-tongued.
बृहस्पति ने अपनी ताकत से धरती को पकड़ा है। वो तीन जगह पे बैठता है और ज़ोर से आवाज़ करता है। पुराने रिशि लोग उसके बारे में सोचते रहते हैं। वो सबसे आगे रहता है और अच्छी बातें करता है।
