10.68.1
उ॒द॒प्रुतो॒ न वयो॒ रक्ष॑माणा॒ वाव॑दतो अ॒भ्रिय॑स्येव॒ घोषाः॑ ।
गि॒रि॒भ्रजो॒ नोर्मयो॒ मद॑न्तो॒ बृह॒स्पति॑म॒भ्य॑र्का अ॑नावन् ॥
Spreading wide in sound, guarding like birds, speaking like the roar of a cloud, exulting like waves that move over the mountains, the hymns resounded toward Brihaspati.
10.68.2
सं गोभि॑राङ्गिर॒सो नक्ष॑माणो॒ भग॑ इ॒वेद॑र्य॒मणं॑ निनाय ।
जने॑ मि॒त्रो न दम्प॑ती अनक्ति॒ बृह॑स्पते वा॒जया॒शूँरि॑वा॒जौ ॥
Together with the cows, Angiras, seeking, won Aryaman as Bhaga would; as Mitra adorns a couple among the people, so, O Brihaspati, urge on the swift ones in the contest.
10.68.3
सा॒ध्व॒र्या अ॑ति॒थिनी॑रिषि॒राः स्पा॒र्हाः सु॒वर्णा॑ अनव॒द्यरू॑पाः ।
बृह॒स्पतिः॒ पर्व॑तेभ्यो वि॒तूर्या॒ निर्गा ऊ॑पे॒ यव॑मिव स्थि॒विभ्यः॑ ॥
Skilful, hospitable, swift, desired, golden-adorned, of faultless form (the dawns); Brihaspati drove the cows forth from the mountains, as one brings barley out of the bins.
10.68.4
आ॒प्रु॒षा॒यन्मधु॑न ऋ॒तस्य॒ योनि॑मवक्षि॒पन्न॒र्क उ॒ल्कामि॑व॒ द्योः ।
बृह॒स्पति॑रु॒द्धर॒न्नश्म॑नो॒ गा भूम्या॑ उ॒द्नेव॒ वि त्वचं॑ बिभेद ॥
Sprinkling the womb of cosmic order with sweetness, hurling the song like the firebrand of the sky, Brihaspati brought the cows out of the rock, and split open, as with an edge, the skin of the earth.
10.68.5
अप॒ ज्योति॑षा॒ तमो॑ अ॒न्तरि॑क्षादु॒द्नः शीपा॑लमिव॒ वात॑ आजत् ।
बृह॒स्पति॑रनु॒मृश्या॑ व॒लस्या॒भ्रमि॑व॒ वात॒ आ च॑क्र॒ आ गाः ॥
With light he drove the darkness away from the mid-region, as wind drives the sieve-keeper from the cloud; Brihaspati, having touched the cloud of Vala, as wind encircles a cloud, encircled the cows.
10.68.6
य॒दा व॒लस्य॒ पीय॑तो॒ जसुं॒ भेद्बृह॒स्पति॑रग्नि॒तपो॑भिर॒र्कैः ।
द॒द्भिर्न जि॒ह्वा परि॑विष्ट॒माद॑दा॒विर्नि॒धीँर॑कृणोदु॒स्रिया॑णाम् ॥
When Vala, drinking, swallowed his fortress, Brihaspati broke it with fire-heated songs; encircling it as a tongue with teeth, he opened up the treasure-hoards for the dawns.
10.68.7
बृह॒स्पति॒रम॑त॒ हि त्यदा॑सां॒ नाम॑ स्व॒रीणां॒ सद॑ने॒ गुहा॒ यत् ।
आ॒ण्डेव॑ भि॒त्त्वा श॑कु॒नस्य॒ गर्भ॒मुदु॒स्रियाः॒ पर्व॑तस्य॒ त्मना॑जत् ॥
Brihaspati brought forth that name, which lay hidden in the seat of the sunlit waters. As a bird breaks an egg and draws out its embryo, so by his own strength he split the mountain and drove forth the dawn-cows.
10.68.8
अश्नापि॑नद्धं॒ मधु॒ पर्य॑पश्य॒न्मत्स्यं॒ न दी॒न उ॒दनि॑ क्षि॒यन्त॑म् ।
निष्टज्ज॑भार चम॒सं न वृ॒क्षाद्बृह॒स्पति॑र्विर॒वेणा॑ वि॒कृत्य॑ ॥
Brihaspati saw the honey bound about with stone, like a fish sinking in a pool that was dissolving; and with his roar he cut it open and drew it out, as one draws a cup from a tree.
10.68.9
सोषाम॑विन्द॒त्स स्वः॑ सो अ॒ग्निं सो अ॒र्केण॒ वि ब॑बाधे॒ तमां॑सि ।
बृह॒स्पति॒र्गोव॑पुषो व॒लस्य॒ निर्म॒ज्जानं॒ न पर्व॑णो जभार ॥
He found the Dawn, he found the light of heaven; he found Agni, and with the song of praise he drove the darknesses apart. Brihaspati drew forth the cows from Vala, the cloud shaped like a cow, as marrow is drawn from the joints.
10.68.10
हि॒मेव॑ प॒र्णा मु॑षि॒ता वना॑नि॒ बृह॒स्पति॑नाकृपयद्व॒लो गाः ।
अ॒ना॒नु॒कृ॒त्यम॑पु॒नश्च॑कार॒ यात्सूर्या॒मासा॑ मि॒थ उ॒च्चरा॑तः ॥
As snow covers leaves, so the stolen forests; Brihaspati made Vala lament. For the cows he did a deed that cannot be undone, when Sun and Moon rose up together.
10.68.11
अ॒भि श्या॒वं न कृश॑नेभि॒रश्वं॒ नक्ष॑त्रेभिः पि॒तरो॒ द्याम॑पिंशन् ।
रात्र्यां॒ तमो॒ अद॑धु॒र्ज्योति॒रह॒न्बृह॒स्पति॑र्भि॒नदद्रिं॑ वि॒दद्गाः ॥
As the Fathers adorned heaven with stars and the dark steed with light, so they set darkness in the night and light in the day. Brihaspati breaks the mountain and finds the cows.
10.68.12
इ॒दम॑कर्म॒ नमो॑ अभ्रि॒याय॒ यः पू॒र्वीरन्वा॒नोन॑वीति ।
बृह॒स्पतिः॒ स हि गोभिः॒ सो अश्वैः॒ स वी॒रेभिः॒ स नृभि॑र्नो॒ वयो॑ धात् ॥
This homage we have made to the cloud-born one, who ever again recites the ancient hymns. May Brihaspati himself grant us strength—with cows, with horses, with heroes, with men.
