sáṃ góbhir āṅgirasó nákṣamāṇo bhága ivéd aryamáṇaṃ nināya | jáne mitró na dámpatī anakti bṛ́haspate vājáyāśū́ṃr ivājáu ||
Translation
गो-किरणांसह आंगिरस लक्ष्याकडे सरकतो; भगासारखा तो अर्यमणाला पुढे नेतो. जनांमध्ये मित्रासारखा तो गृहातील दोन्ही अधिपतींचा अभिषेक करतो. हे बृहस्पते, रणात वेगवानांसारखे आम्हाला वाज-समृद्धी, पूर्णतेकडे हाकून ने.
