उताशिष्ठा अनु शृण्वन्ति वह्नयः सभेयो विप्रो भरते मती धना । वीळुद्वेषा अनु वश ऋणमाददिः स ह वाजी समिथे ब्रह्मणस्पतिः ॥
Transliteration
utā́śiṣṭhā́ ánu śṛṇvanti váhnayaḥ sabhéyo vípro bharate matī́ dhánā | vīḷu-dvéṣā ánu váśa ṛṇám ādadíḥ sá ha vājī́ sam-ithé bráhmaṇas-pátiḥ ||
Translation
また、最も力ある火の担い手らは彼に随って聴き従う。集会にふさわしき霊感の詩人は、富となる思惟を捧げ持つ。彼の意のままに、敵対の束縛より負債を奪い去る。その勝利の勇者こそ、戦の会合におけるブラフマナスパティ（Brahmaṇaspati）である。
