Sanskrit Original
त्रि॒तः कूपेऽव॑हितो दे॒वान्ह॑वत ऊ॒तये॑ । तच्छु॑श्राव॒ बृह॒स्पतिः॑ कृ॒ण्वन्नं॑हूर॒णादु॒रु वि॒त्तं मे॑ अ॒स्य रो॑दसी
tritaḥ kūpe'vahito devānhavata ūtaye tacchuśrāva bṛhaspatiḥ kṛṇvannaṃhūraṇāduru vittaṃ me asya rodasī
Threefold, placed in a well, the gods offer oblation for the stirrings; thus Bṛhaspati heard and spoke: bring forth food, give riches, O Dawn, to me.
Trita, fallen into the well, invokes the Gods for succour; Bṛhaspati, who liberates many from sin, heard (the submission). Heaven and earth, be conscious of this (my affliction).
Trta, when buried in the well, calls on the Gods to succour him. That call of his Brhaspati heard and released him from distress. Mark this my woe, ye Earth and Heaven.
