2.23.1
ग॒णानां॑ त्वा ग॒णप॑तिं हवामहे क॒विं क॑वी॒नामु॑प॒मश्र॑वस्तमम् ।
ज्ये॒ष्ठ॒राजं॒ ब्रह्म॑णां ब्रह्मणस्पत॒ आ नः॑ शृ॒ण्वन्नू॒तिभिः॑ सीद॒ साद॑नम् ॥
We invoke you, lord of the hosts, the seer among seers, most renowned for hearing, the chief king. O Brahmanaspati, hearing us, sit here on your seat with your aids.
2.23.2
दे॒वाश्चि॑त्ते असुर्य॒ प्रचे॑तसो॒ बृह॑स्पते य॒ज्ञियं॑ भा॒गमा॑नशुः ।
उ॒स्रा इ॑व॒ सूर्यो॒ ज्योति॑षा म॒हो विश्वे॑षा॒मिज्ज॑नि॒ता ब्रह्म॑णामसि ॥
Indeed the wise gods have obtained your portion worthy of sacrifice, O Asura, O Brihaspati. As the sun with light brings forth the dawns, so you are the great begetter of all prayers.
2.23.3
आ वि॒बाध्या॑ परि॒राप॒स्तमां॑सि च॒ ज्योति॑ष्मन्तं॒ रथ॑मृ॒तस्य॑ तिष्ठसि ।
बृह॑स्पते भी॒मम॑मित्र॒दम्भ॑नं रक्षो॒हणं॑ गोत्र॒भिदं॑ स्व॒र्विद॑म् ॥
Having driven away the hostile ones and darkness too, you mount the luminous chariot of truth. O Brihaspati, you are fearsome, subduer of foes, demon slayer, cow-breaker, finder of heaven.
2.23.4
सु॒नी॒तिभि॑र्नयसि॒ त्राय॑से॒ जनं॒ यस्तुभ्यं॒ दाशा॒न्न तमंहो॑ अश्नवत् ।
ब्र॒ह्म॒द्विष॒स्तप॑नो मन्यु॒मीर॑सि॒ बृह॑स्पते॒ महि॒ तत्ते॑ महित्व॒नम् ॥
Whoever serves you like a servant, you lead by good guidance and protect, so that sin may not reach him. O Brihaspati, you are the burning fire of wrath against the haters of prayer; this is your greatness.
2.23.5
न तमंहो॒ न दु॑रि॒तं कुत॑श्च॒न नारा॑तयस्तितिरु॒र्न द्व॑या॒विनः॑ ।
विश्वा॒ इद॑स्माद्ध्व॒रसो॒ वि बा॑धसे॒ यं सु॑गो॒पा रक्ष॑सि ब्रह्मणस्पते ॥
Whomever you guard as a good protector, sin does not reach, nor evil deed from anywhere; the niggardly and the double-minded cannot cross over. O Brahmanaspati, from this sacrifice you indeed drive away all obstacles.
2.23.6
त्वं नो॑ गो॒पाः प॑थि॒कृद्वि॑चक्ष॒णस्तव॑ व्र॒ताय॑ म॒तिभि॑र्जरामहे ।
बृह॑स्पते॒ यो नो॑ अ॒भि ह्वरो॑ द॒धे स्वा तं म॑र्मर्तु दु॒च्छुना॒ हर॑स्वती ॥
You are our protector, path-maker, all-seeing; for your work we praise you with prayers. O Brihaspati, whoever takes to himself against us with cruelty, may the fiery tongue with sharp pain destroy him.
2.23.7
उ॒त वा॒ यो नो॑ म॒र्चया॒दना॑गसो अराती॒वा मर्तः॑ सानु॒को वृकः॑ ।
बृह॑स्पते॒ अप॒ तं व॑र्तया प॒थः सु॒गं नो॑ अ॒स्यै दे॒ववी॑तये कृधि ॥
Whatever mortal, hostile and wolf-like, would harm us who are sinless, O Bṛhaspati, turn him away from the path; and make this path easy for us, for the favor of the gods.
2.23.8
त्रा॒तारं॑ त्वा त॒नूनां॑ हवाम॒हेऽव॑स्पर्तरधिव॒क्तार॑मस्म॒युम् ।
बृह॑स्पते देव॒निदो॒ नि ब॑र्हय॒ मा दु॒रेवा॒ उत्त॑रं सु॒म्नमुन्न॑शन् ॥
We call upon you, protector of bodies, helper, proclaimer, friendly one, O Bṛhaspati; cast down the enemies of the gods; let not the ill-disposed destroy our higher wealth.
2.23.9
त्वया॑ व॒यं सु॒वृधा॑ ब्रह्मणस्पते स्पा॒र्हा वसु॑ मनु॒ष्या द॑दीमहि ।
या नो॑ दू॒रे त॒ळितो॒ या अरा॑तयो अ॒भि सन्ति॑ ज॒म्भया॒ ता अ॑न॒प्नसः॑ ॥
Through you, well-strengthened, may we, O lord of prayer, receive desired wealth and human wealth; smite those lightnings and hostilities that come against us from afar, which are irresistible.
2.23.10
त्वया॑ व॒यमु॑त्त॒मं धी॑महे॒ वयो॒ बृह॑स्पते॒ पप्रि॑णा॒ सस्नि॑ना यु॒जा ।
मा नो॑ दुः॒शंसो॑ अभिदि॒प्सुरी॑शत॒ प्र सु॒शंसा॑ म॒तिभि॑स्तारिषीमहि ॥
Through you, O Bṛhaspati, may we attain the highest vigor, full, adorned, joined to the good yoke; let no evil-minded one desirous of harm attack us; may the praisers pass across with prayers.
2.23.11
अ॒ना॒नु॒दो वृ॑ष॒भो जग्मि॑राह॒वं निष्ट॑प्ता॒ शत्रुं॒ पृत॑नासु सास॒हिः ।
असि॑ स॒त्य ऋ॑ण॒या ब्र॑ह्मणस्पत उ॒ग्रस्य॑ चिद्दमि॒ता वी॑ळुह॒र्षिणः॑ ॥
Unpursued, bull, coming to battle, casting down the enemy, victorious in battles, you are; true, O lord of prayer, you are the one who pays debts; the tamer even of the fierce and wrathful, of the strong-armed.
2.23.12
अदे॑वेन॒ मन॑सा॒ यो रि॑ष॒ण्यति॑ शा॒सामु॒ग्रो मन्य॑मानो॒ जिघां॑सति ।
बृह॑स्पते॒ मा प्रण॒क्तस्य॑ नो व॒धो नि क॑र्म म॒न्युं दु॒रेव॑स्य॒ शर्ध॑तः ॥
He who with a godless mind seeks to harm the singers, fierce, thinking, desires to slay them: O Bṛhaspati, let not his killing fall upon us; cool down the wrath of the ill-disposed oppressor.
2.23.13
भरे॑षु॒ हव्यो॒ नम॑सोप॒सद्यो॒ गन्ता॒ वाजे॑षु॒ सनि॑ता॒ धनं॑धनम् ।
विश्वा॒ इद॒र्यो अ॑भिदि॒प्स्वो॑ मृधो॒ बृह॒स्पति॒र्वि व॑वर्हा॒ रथाँ॑ इव ॥
Brihaspati, to be invoked in battles, approachable with homage, arriving in contests and granting wealth upon wealth, has torn apart the hostile assaults as one breaks chariots.
2.23.14
तेजि॑ष्ठया तप॒नी र॒क्षस॑स्तप॒ ये त्वा॑ नि॒दे द॑धि॒रे दृ॒ष्टवी॑र्यम् ।
आ॒विस्तत्कृ॑ष्व॒ यदस॑त्त उ॒क्थ्यं॑ बृह॑स्पते॒ वि प॑रि॒रापो॑ अर्दय ॥
Scorch the demons with your keenest heat, you who are held near by those whose valor is seen openly. Brihaspati, reveal what is worthy of praise, and drive the enemies away.
2.23.15
बृह॑स्पते॒ अति॒ यद॒र्यो अर्हा॑द्द्यु॒मद्वि॒भाति॒ क्रतु॑म॒ज्जने॑षु ।
यद्दी॒दय॒च्छव॑स ऋतप्रजात॒ तद॒स्मासु॒ द्रवि॑णं धेहि चि॒त्रम् ॥
Brihaspati, whatever light surpasses even the enemy and shines with wisdom among the people, you who shine with strength and were born of truth, place that wondrous wealth within us.
2.23.16
मा न॑ स्ते॒नेभ्यो॒ ये अ॒भि द्रु॒हस्प॒दे नि॑रा॒मिणो॑ रि॒पवोऽन्ने॑षु जागृ॒धुः ।
आ दे॒वाना॒मोह॑ते॒ वि व्रयो॑ हृ॒दि बृह॑स्पते॒ न प॒रः साम्नो॑ विदुः ॥
Do not hand us over to thieves who lie in wait on the path of the hostile one, enemies greedy for food. Here is the call of the gods, Brihaspati; wisdom dwells in the heart. Those who do not know it do not know the chant.
2.23.17
विश्वे॑भ्यो॒ हि त्वा॒ भुव॑नेभ्य॒स्परि॒ त्वष्टाज॑न॒त्साम्नः॑साम्नः क॒विः ।
स ऋ॑ण॒चिदृ॑ण॒या ब्रह्म॑ण॒स्पति॑र्द्रु॒हो ह॒न्ता म॒ह ऋ॒तस्य॑ ध॒र्तरि॑ ॥
For all beings indeed Tvashtar produced you all around, poet of the chants. He is the restorer of debts, lord of the sacred word, the slayer of the hostile one, in the support of the great cosmic order.
2.23.18
तव॑ श्रि॒ये व्य॑जिहीत॒ पर्व॑तो॒ गवां॑ गो॒त्रमु॒दसृ॑जो॒ यद॑ङ्गिरः ।
इन्द्रे॑ण यु॒जा तम॑सा॒ परी॑वृतं॒ बृह॑स्पते॒ निर॒पामौ॑ब्जो अर्ण॒वम् ॥
For your splendor the mountain was opened, O Angiras, when you released the herd of cows. With Indra as your companion, O Brihaspati, you forced open the ocean of waters enclosed in darkness.
2.23.19
ब्रह्म॑णस्पते॒ त्वम॒स्य य॒न्ता सू॒क्तस्य॑ बोधि॒ तन॑यं च जिन्व ।
विश्वं॒ तद्भ॒द्रं यदव॑न्ति दे॒वा बृ॒हद्व॑देम वि॒दथे॑ सु॒वीराः॑ ॥
O Brahmanaspati, be the inspirer of this hymn and invigorate our offspring too. May all that is auspicious, which the gods protect, be ours. With good heroes, may we speak loudly in the contest of assembly.
