अ॒ग॒व्यू॒ति क्षेत्र॒माग॑न्म देवा उ॒र्वी स॒ती भूमि॑रंहूर॒णाभू॑त् । बृह॑स्पते॒ प्र चि॑कित्सा॒ गवि॑ष्टावि॒त्था स॒ते ज॑रि॒त्र इ॑न्द्र॒ पन्था॑म्
agavyūti kṣetramāganma devā urvī satī bhūmiraṃhūraṇābhūt bṛhaspate pra cikitsā gaviṣṭāvitthā sate jaritra indra panthām
The gods came to the field of sacred rite in the east; the earth became a place of union. Bṛhaspati sought out the rites, spreading the grass; Indra led the way upon the path.
We have wandered, gods, into a desert where there is no track of cattle; the vast extant earth has become the protectress of murderers; direct us, Bṛhaspati, in our search for cattle; show the path, Indra, to your votary being astray.
Gods, we have reached a country void of pasture the land, though spacious, was too small to hold us. Brhaspati, provide in war for cattle; find a path, Indra, for this faithful singer.
