The Hotṛs invoked the guardian singers; Bṛhaspati offered the sacrificial water with brows bound, with branches of wood, with tall wood. We awoke, sending forth songs to the distant quarters, with heart devoted on the mountain’s summit. Sukratu placed many fortresses below, Sukratu set many strongholds above.

Let the invoker (of the gods) offer sacrifice, and may they, desirous of the offering, (partake of) the acceptable (libation); Bṛhaspati himself, desiring (the libation), celebrates worship with libations; with copious and excellent libations. We catch from a distant quarter the sound of the stones, whereby the performer of pious acts has of himself secured the waters (of the clouds); the performer of pious acts (has secured) many habitations.

Let the Invoker bless: let offerers bring choice gifts; Brhaspati the Friend doth sacrifice with Steers, Steers that have many an excellence. Now with our ears we catch the sound of the press-stone that rings afar. The very Strong hath gained the waters by himself, the strong gained many a resting-place.
