Mantra 1
Sukta 40
मेधा। यन्मे छिद्रं मनसो यच्च वाचः सरस्वती मन्युमन्तं जगाम । विश्वैस्तद् देवैः सह संविदानः सं दधातु बृहस्पतिः
medhā́ | yán me chidrám mánaso yác ca vā́caḥ sárasvatī manyumántaṁ jagā́ma | víśvais tád deváiḥ sahá saṁvidānáḥ sáṁ dadhātu bṛ́haspátiḥ ||
Intelligence—what breach of mine, of mind, and what of speech, Sarasvatī hath carried off, borne away in passionate tumult: that, in accord with all the Gods together, let Bṛhaspati set back, and set in order.
Medhā—apa pun celah pada diriku, pada batin, dan pada ucapan, yang Sarasvatī telah merenggut dan membawanya pergi dalam gelora amarah: biarlah Bṛhaspati, seiring sepengetahuan bersama semua Dewa, mengembalikannya dan menatanya kembali.
