English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

Ye who are stationed in this upward quarter, gods wealthy in might by name—of you, Bṛhaspati is the lord, and the Arrows are your powers. Be gracious unto us; speak over us in blessing. To them be reverence from you; to them from you be Svāhā.

Translation

മേലോട്ടുള്ള ദിക്കിൽ നിലകൊള്ളുന്ന, നാമം കൊണ്ടുതന്നെ ബലസമ്പന്നരായ ദേവന്മാരേ—നിങ്ങളുടെ അധിപൻ ബൃഹസ്പതി; ‘ഇഷവഃ’ (അമ്പുരൂപ ശക്തികൾ) നിങ്ങളുടെ ശക്തികളാണ്. ഞങ്ങളോടു കൃപ കാണിക്കുവിൻ; ഞങ്ങളിലേയ്ക്ക് ആശീർവാദവചനം ഉച്ചരിക്കുവിൻ. അവർക്കു നിങ്ങളുടെ നമസ്കാരം; അവർക്കു നിങ്ങളുടെ സ്വാഹാ.

Devata: Dik-devatāḥ (deities of the quarters), with Bṛhaspati as presiding lord of the upward quarter; 'Iṣavaḥ' as weapon-powers

Chandas: Mixed/prose-like Atharvanic cadence (often treated as anuṣṭubh-adjacent in recensional counting)
