They who bent down, the waters did not go to the ocean nor the rivulets their channels. The wise one struck both; Bṛhaspati brought in the streams and the vulture seized them.

To whom praises (necessarily) proceed, as men (assemble round a master); as rivers, rolling between their banks, flow to the ocean; that wise Bṛhaspati greedy (after rain), and stationary in the midst, contemplates both (the ferry and the water).

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.
