hṛdā taṣṭeṣu manaso javeṣu yadbrāhmaṇāḥ saṃyajante sakhāyaḥ atrāha tvaṃ vi jahurvedyābhirohabrahmāṇo vi carantyu tve
In hearts, in the seats of mind, in the swift breaths where the brahmanas perform their rites — companions, there indeed you have spoken among the knowers of the Veda; may the brahmanas walk about you.
Although Brāhmaṇas who are friends concur in the mental apprehensions which are conceived bythe heart (of the wise), yet in this (assembly) they abandon one man (to ignorance of the sciences) that are to beknown, others again who are reckoned as Brāhmaṇas (wander at will in the meanings of the Veda).
When friendly Brahmans sacrifice together with mental impulse which the heart hath fashioned, They leave one far behind through their attainments, and some who count as Brahmans wander elsewhere.
