Di dalam kediaman, dudukkanlah kuasa pembentuk yang bijaksana, Yang Maha-besar berbelakang biru-gelap—Bṛhaspati—dalam persidangan rumah batin. Bersemayam pada rahimnya sendiri, pada tapak keteguhannya, ia bersinar: berwarna emas, kemerah-merahan oleh kekuatan; semoga kami menyertainya dan berkhidmat kepadanya.
