a̱na̱rvāṇa̍ṁ vṛṣa̱bham ma̱ndraji̍hva̱m bṛha̱spati̍ṁ vardhayā̱ navya̍m a̱rkaiḥ |
gā̱thā̱nya̍ḥ su̱ruco̱ yasya̍ de̱vā ā̍śṛ̱ṇvanti̱ nava̍mānasya̱ martā̍ḥ ||

GLORIFY thou Bṛihaspati, the scatheless, who must be praised with hymns, sweet-tongued and mighty, To whom as leader of the song, resplendent, worthy of lauds, both Gods and mortals listen.

Ralph T. H. Griffith 1889, The Hymns of the Rigveda

1.190.2

tam ṛ̱tviyā̱ upa̱ vāca̍ḥ sacante̱ sargo̱ na yo de̍vaya̱tām asa̍rji |
bṛha̱spati̱ḥ sa hy añjo̱ varā̍ṁsi̱ vibhvābha̍va̱t sam ṛ̱te mā̍ta̱riśvā̍ ||

On him wait songs according to the season even as a stream of pious men set moving. Bṛihaspati-for helaid out the expanses- was, at the sacrifice, vast Mâtariṣvan.

Ralph T. H. Griffith 1889, The Hymns of the Rigveda

1.190.3

upa̍stuti̱ṁ nama̍sa̱ udya̍tiṁ ca̱ śloka̍ṁ yaṁsat savi̱teva̱ pra bā̱hū |
a̱sya kratvā̍ha̱nyo̱3̱̍ yo asti̍ mṛ̱go na bhī̱mo a̍ra̱kṣasa̱s tuvi̍ṣmān ||

The praise, the verse that offers adoration, may he bring forth, as the Sun sends his arms out, He who gives daily light through this God's wisdom, strong as a dread wild beast, and inoffensive.

Ralph T. H. Griffith 1889, The Hymns of the Rigveda

1.190.4

a̱sya śloko̍ di̱vīya̍te pṛthi̱vyām atyo̱ na ya̍ṁsad yakṣa̱bhṛd vice̍tāḥ |
mṛ̱gāṇā̱ṁ na he̱tayo̱ yanti̍ ce̱mā bṛha̱spate̱r ahi̍māyām̐ a̱bhi dyūn ||

His song of praise pervades the earth and heaven – let the wise worshipper draw it, like a courser. These of Bṛihaspati, like hunters' arrows, go to the skies that change their hue like serpents.

Ralph T. H. Griffith 1889, The Hymns of the Rigveda

1.190.5

ye tvā̍ devosri̱kam manya̍mānāḥ pā̱pā bha̱dram u̍pa̱jīva̍nti pa̱jrāḥ |
na dū̱ḍhye̱3̱̍ anu̍ dadāsi vā̱mam bṛha̍spate̱ caya̍sa̱ it piyā̍rum ||

Those, God, who count thee as a worthless bullock, and, wealthy sinners, live on thee the Bounteous,– On fools like these no blessing thou bestowest: Bṛihaspati, thou punishest the spiteful.

Ralph T. H. Griffith 1889, The Hymns of the Rigveda

1.190.6

su̱praitu̍ḥ sū̱yava̍so̱ na panthā̍ durni̱yantu̱ḥ pari̍prīto̱ na mi̱traḥ |
a̱na̱rvāṇo̍ a̱bhi ye cakṣa̍te̱ no 'pī̍vṛtā aporṇu̱vanto̍ asthuḥ ||

Like a fair path is he, where grass is pleasant, though hard to win, a Friend beloved most early. Those who unharmed by enemies behold us, while: they would make them bare, stood closely compassed.

Ralph T. H. Griffith 1889, The Hymns of the Rigveda

1.190.7

saṁ yaṁ stubho̱ 'vana̍yo̱ na yanti̍ samu̱draṁ na sra̱vato̱ rodha̍cakrāḥ |
sa vi̱dvām̐ u̱bhaya̍ṁ caṣṭe a̱ntar bṛha̱spati̱s tara̱ āpa̍ś ca̱ gṛdhra̍ḥ ||

He to whom songs of praise go forth like torrents, as rivers eddying under banks flow sea-ward- Bṛihaspati the wise, the eager, closely looks upon both, the waters and the vessel.

Ralph T. H. Griffith 1889, The Hymns of the Rigveda

1.190.8

e̱vā ma̱has tu̍vijā̱tas tuvi̍ṣmā̱n bṛha̱spati̍r vṛṣa̱bho dhā̍yi de̱vaḥ |
sa na̍ḥ stu̱to vī̱rava̍d dhātu̱ goma̍d vi̱dyāme̱ṣaṁ vṛ̱jana̍ṁ jī̱radā̍num ||

So hath Bṛihaspati, great, strong and mighty, the God exceeding powerful, been brought hither. May he thus lauded give us kine and horses. May we find strengthening food in full abundance.
