एते ब्रद्यार्षयश्चैव बृहस्पतिपुरोगमा: । स्तवेन शक्र दिव्येन स्तुवन्ति त्वां जयाय वै,शक्र! ये बृहस्पति आदि ब्रह्मर्षि तुम्हारी विजयके लिये दिव्य स्तोत्रद्वारा स्तुति कर रहे हैं
ete bradyārṣayaś caiva bṛhaspatipurogamāḥ | stavena śakra divyena stuvanti tvāṃ jayāya vai, śakra |
Vasiṣṭha nói: “Những bậc hiền triết lỗi lạc này, do Bṛhaspati dẫn đầu, đang ca tụng ngươi, hỡi Śakra, bằng thánh ca của chư thiên—quả thật là vì chiến thắng của ngươi.”

Educational Q&A
The verse suggests that rightful victory is supported by sacred wisdom and reverent invocation: leaders should seek alignment with dharma and the counsel/blessing of the wise, not rely solely on power.
Vasiṣṭha points out that a group of great sages, headed by Bṛhaspati, are offering a divine hymn of praise to Śakra (Indra), specifically to secure his triumph.
