When the cloud’s drink was drunk and the stream was cleft by Brihaspati with sunlike fires, the waters did not imprison the tongue; they did not collect wealth for the singers of the waters.

When Bṛhaspati demolished with rays burning like fire the weapon of the malignant Vala, he devouredhim (encompassed by his followers) as the tongue (consumes) that which is encompassed by the teeth; he mademanifest the hiding- plural ce of the kine.

Brhaspati, when he with fiery lightnings cleft through the weapon of reviling Vala, Consumed.him as tongues cat what teeth have compassed: he threw the prisons of the red cows open.
