Mantra 10
Sukta 16
हिमेव पर्णा मुषिता वनानि बृहस्पतिनाकृपयद् वलो गाः । अनानुकृत्यमपुनश्चकार यात् सूर्यामासा मिथ उच्चरातः
hím eva párṇā muṣitā́ vánāni bṛ́haspátinā́kṛpayad való gā́ḥ | anānukṛ́tyam apúnaś cakāra yā́t sū́ryāmā́sā mithá úccarātaḥ ||
As though the frost had reft the forests of their leaves, so Vala wronged the cows; but by Bṛhaspati they found relief. A deed unmatchable he wrought anew—when Sun and Moon rise up, each in his turn.
Rishi: Bṛhaspati / Angiras
