Mantra 9
Sukta 91
तं वर्धयन्तो मतिभिः शिवाभिः सिंहमिव नानदतं सधस्थे । बृहस्पतिं वृषणं शूरसातौ भरेभरे अनु मदेम जिष्णुम्
táṃ vardháyanto matíbhiḥ śivā́bhiḥ siṃhám iva nā́nadatam sadhásthe | bṛ́haspátiṃ vṛ́ṣaṇaṃ śū́ra-sātau bháre-bhare ánu madema jiṣṇúm
Him we strengthen with auspicious thoughts—him roaring like a lion in the common seat. Bṛhaspati, the bull, the victor in the winning of heroes—after him may we exult in every battle-burden, the conquering one.
आम्ही शिव (मंगल) मतांनी त्याला वाढवितो—सधस्थ (सामूहिक आसन) मध्ये सिंहासारखा गर्जणाऱ्याला. बृहस्पती—वृषभ, शूर-सातौ (वीरजया) मध्ये विजयी—त्या जिष्णु (विजयी)च्या मागे, प्रत्येक युद्ध-भारात आम्ही हर्ष मानू.
