Sukta 3
यत् ते॑ न॒द्धं वि॑श्ववारे॒ पाशो॑ ग्र॒न्थिश्च॒ यः कृ॒तः । बृह॒स्पति॑रिवा॒हं ब॒लं वा॒चा वि स्रं॑सयामि॒ तत्
yát te naddháṃ viśva-vāre pā́śo gránthiś ca yáḥ kṛtáḥ | bṛ́haspátir ivāháṃ bálaṃ vācā́ ví sraṃsayāmi tát
What binding thou hast, O all-warding,—the noose, the knot, which hath been made,—that, like Bṛhaspati, I with speech unloose, and make its force fall away.
Apa jua ikatan yang engkau ada, wahai yang melindungi ke segala arah—jerat dan simpul yang telah dibuat—itulah, seperti Bṛhaspati, dengan kata-kata/mantera aku meleraikannya, dan aku gugurkan kekuatannya.
