10.109.1
ते॑ऽवदन्प्रथ॒मा ब्र॑ह्मकिल्बि॒षे अकू॑पारः सलि॒लो मा॑त॒रिश्वा॑ ।
वी॒ळुह॑रा॒स्तप॑ उ॒ग्रो म॑यो॒भूरापो॑ दे॒वीः प्र॑थम॒जा ऋ॒तेन॑ ॥
They who first spoke of the sin against the sacred word: Akūpāra, Salila, Mātariśvan, the rough-hewn, fierce heat, bringer of well-being; the divine waters, firstborn, by the cosmic order.
10.109.2
सोमो॒ राजा॑ प्रथ॒मो ब्र॑ह्मजा॒यां पुनः॒ प्राय॑च्छ॒दहृ॑णीयमानः ।
अ॒न्व॒र्ति॒ता वरु॑णो मि॒त्र आ॑सीद॒ग्निर्होता॑ हस्त॒गृह्या नि॑नाय ॥
King Soma first gave back the wife of the Brahman again, keeping her unharmed; Varuṇa and Mitra followed her, and the priest Agni led her away by the hand.
10.109.3
हस्ते॑नै॒व ग्रा॒ह्य॑ आ॒धिर॑स्या ब्रह्मजा॒येयमिति॒ चेदवो॑चन् ।
न दू॒ताय॑ प्र॒ह्ये॑ तस्थ ए॒षा तथा॑ रा॒ष्ट्रं गु॑पि॒तं क्ष॒त्रिय॑स्य ॥
This pledge, to be taken by the hand, is hers — 'the Brahman's wife,' they declared. She did not stand to be handed over to a messenger; thus the realm of the warrior is protected.
10.109.4
दे॒वा ए॒तस्या॑मवदन्त॒ पूर्वे॑ सप्तऋ॒षय॒स्तप॑से॒ ये नि॑षे॒दुः ।
भी॒मा जा॒या ब्रा॑ह्म॒णस्योप॑नीता दु॒र्धां द॑धाति पर॒मे व्यो॑मन् ॥
The gods spoke of her — the ancient seven seers who sat down for austerity; fearsome, the wife of the Brahman, brought near, hard to hold, she is set in the highest realm of space.
10.109.5
ब्र॒ह्म॒चा॒री च॑रति॒ वेवि॑ष॒द्विषः॒ स दे॒वानां॑ भव॒त्येक॒मङ्ग॑म् ।
तेन॑ जा॒यामन्व॑विन्द॒द्बृह॒स्पतिः॒ सोमे॑न नी॒तां जु॒ह्वं॑ न दे॑वाः ॥
The celibate student wanders, entering the poisons; he becomes one limb of the gods. By him Bṛhaspati found the wife who was led away by Soma, like a sacrificial ladle, O gods.
10.109.6
पुन॒र्वै दे॒वा अ॑ददुः॒ पुन॑र्मनु॒ष्या॑ उ॒त ।
राजा॑नः स॒त्यं कृ॑ण्वा॒ना ब्र॑ह्मजा॒यां पुन॑र्ददुः ॥
Indeed the gods gave back again, and humans again; the kings, making the truth, gave back the Brahman's wife again.
10.109.7
पु॒न॒र्दाय॑ ब्रह्मजा॒यां कृ॒त्वी दे॒वैर्नि॑किल्बि॒षम् ।
ऊर्जं॑ पृथि॒व्या भ॒क्त्वायो॑रुगा॒यमुपा॑सते ॥
The gods made the brahmin's wife blameless again; to partake of the earth's strength, they sit near her, much praised.
