asya śloko divīyate pṛthivyāmatyo na yaṃsadyakṣabhṛdvicetāḥ mṛgāṇāṃ na hetayo yanti cemā bṛhaspaterahimāyām̐ abhi dyūn
This stanza is proclaimed on earth; none of those whose minds are far-seeing can oppose it. The causes of the creatures do not go forth; Bṛhaspati sent them back from here to the sky.
The gloryof this Bṛhaspati spreads through heaven and earth like the sun; receiving worship, and giving intelligence, he bestows (the rewards of sacrifice); like the weapons of the hunters, so these (weapons) of Bṛhaspati fall daily upon the workers of guile.
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.
