सूक्त १९०

अनर्वाणं वृषभं मन्द्रजिह्वं बृहस्पतिं वर्धया नव्यमर्कैः। गाथान्यः सुरुचो यस्य देवा आशृण्वन्ति नवमानस्य मर्ताः॥

anarvāṇaṁ vṛṣabhaṁ mandrajihvaṁ bṛhaspatiṁ vardhayā navyamarkaiḥ | gāthānyaḥ suruco yasya devā āśṛṇvanti navamānasya martāḥ ||

GLORIFY thou Brhaspati, the scatheless, who must be praised with hymns, sweet-tongued and mighty, To whom as leader of the song, resplendent, worthy of lauds, both Gods and mortals listen.

तमृत्विया उप वाचः सचन्ते सर्गो न यो देवयतामसर्जि। बृहस्पतिः स ह्यञ्जो वरांसि विभ्वाभवत्समृते मातरिश्वा॥

tamṛtviyā upa vācaḥ sacante sargo na yo devayatāmasarji | bṛhaspatiḥ sa hyañjo varāṁsi vibhvābhavatsamṛte mātariśvā ||

On him wait songs according to the season even as a stream of pious men set moving. Brhaspati-for helaid out the expanses- was, at the sacrifice, vast Matarisvan.

उपस्तुतिं नमस उद्यतिं च श्लोकं यंसत्सवितेव प्र बाहू। अस्य क्रत्वाहन्यो यो अस्ति मृगो न भीमो अरक्षसस्तुविष्मान्॥

upastutiṁ namasa udyatiṁ ca ślokaṁ yaṁsatsaviteva pra bāhū | asya kratvāhanyo yo asti mṛgo na bhīmo arakṣasastuviṣmān ||

The praise, the verse that offers adoration, may he bring forth, as the Sun sends his arms out, He who gives daily light through this God's wisdom, strong as a dread wild beast, and inoffensive.

अस्य श्लोको दिवीयते पृथिव्यामत्यो न यंसद्यक्षभृद्विचेताः। मृगाणां न हेतयो यन्ति चेमा बृहस्पतेरहिमायाँ अभि द्यून्॥

asya śloko divīyate pṛthivyāmatyo na yaṁsadyakṣabhṛdvicetāḥ | mṛgāṇāṁ na hetayo yanti cemā bṛhaspaterahimāyā abhi dyūn ||

His song of praise pervades the earth and heaven - let the wise worshipper draw it, like a courser. These of Brhaspati, like hunters' arrows, go to the skies that change their hue like serpents.

ये त्वा देवोस्रिकं मन्यमानाः पापा भद्रमुपजीवन्ति पज्राः। न दूढ्ये अनु ददासि वामं बृहस्पते चयस इत्पियारुम्॥

ye tvā devosrikaṁ manyamānāḥ pāpā bhadramupajīvanti pajrāḥ | na dūḍhye anu dadāsi vāmaṁ bṛhaspate cayasa itpiyārum ||

Those, God, who count thee as a worthless bullock, and, wealthy sinners, live on thee the Bounteous,- On fools like these no blessing thou bestowest: Brhaspati, thou punishest the spiteful.

सुप्रैतुः सूयवसो न पन्था दुर्नियन्तुः परिप्रीतो न मित्रः। अनर्वाणो अभि ये चक्षते नोऽपीवृता अपोर्णुवन्तो अस्थुः॥

supraituḥ sūyavaso na panthā durniyantuḥ pariprīto na mitraḥ | anarvāṇo abhi ye cakṣate no'pīvṛtā aporṇuvanto asthuḥ ||

Like a fair path is he, where grass is pleasant, though hard to win, a Friend beloved most early. Those who unharmed by enemies behold us, while: they would make them bare, stood closely compassed.

सं यं स्तुभोऽवनयो न यन्ति समुद्रं न स्रवतो रोधचक्राः। स विद्वाँ उभयं चष्टे अन्तर्बृहस्पतिस्तर आपश्च गृध्रः॥

saṁ yaṁ stubho'vanayo na yanti samudraṁ na sravato rodhacakrāḥ | sa vidvā ubhayaṁ caṣṭe antarbṛhaspatistara āpaśca gṛdhraḥ ||

He to whom songs of praise go forth like torrents, as rivers eddying under banks flow sea-ward- Brhaspati the wise, the eager, closely looks upon both, the waters and the vessel.

एवा महस्तुविजातस्तुविष्मान्बृहस्पतिर्वृषभो धायि देवः। स नः स्तुतो वीरवद्धातु गोमद्विद्यामेषं वृजनं जीरदानुम्॥

evā mahastuvijātastuviṣmānbṛhaspatirvṛṣabho dhāyi devaḥ | sa naḥ stuto vīravaddhātu gomadvidyāmeṣaṁ vṛjanaṁ jīradānum ||

So hath Brhaspati, great, strong and mighty, the God exceeding powerful, been brought hither. May he thus lauded give us kine and horses. May we find strengthening food in full abundance.
