Sukta 10.98

Rishi: Devāpi Ārṣṭiṣeṇa (with Ārṣṭiṣeṇa/Devāpi figures prominent in the hymn’s narrative)
Devata: Bṛhaspati as the invoked power; allied forms named: Mitra, Varuṇa, Pūṣan, Ādityas, Vasus, Maruts; rain-force Parjanya is the boon/action requested

Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

बृहस्पते प्रति मे देवतामिहि मित्रो वा यद्वरुणो वासि पूषा । आदित्यैर्वा यद्वसुभिर्मरुत्वान्त्स पर्जन्यं शंतनवे वृषाय ॥

Transliteration

bṛ́haspate práti me devátām ihi mitró vā yád váruṇo vā́si pūṣā́ | ādityáir vā yád vásubhir marútvān tsá parjányam śáṃtanave vṛṣāya ||

Translation

Wahai Bṛhaspati, datanglah menghadap seruanku dan tegakkan di sini kuasa ketuhanan: sama ada Engkau menjadi Mitra, atau Varuṇa, atau Pūṣan; sama ada bersama para Āditya, atau para Vasu, atau sebagai pemangku Marut—maka bangkitkanlah Parjanya, kekuatan hujan yang menyuburkan, agar mencurahkan bagi pertambahan Śaṃtanū dan bagi daya hidup jiwa.
