सु॒नी॒तिभि॑र्नयसि॒ त्राय॑से॒ जनं॒ यस्तुभ्यं॒ दाशा॒न्न तमंहो॑ अश्नवत् । ब्र॒ह्म॒द्विष॒स्तप॑नो मन्यु॒मीर॑सि॒ बृह॑स्पते॒ महि॒ तत्ते॑ महित्व॒नम्
sunītibhirnayasi trāyase janaṃ yastubhyaṃ dāśānna tamaṃho aśnavat brahmadviṣastapano manyumīrasi bṛhaspate mahi tatte mahitvanam
With good counsel you lead and protect the people who serve you; O Brahmadwisha (hostile to falsehood) you appear mighty, Brihaspati, grant that greatness to us.
You lead men, Bṛhaspati, by virtuous instrumental uctions; you preserve them (from calamity); sin will never overtake him who presents (offerings) to you; you are the afflicter of him who hates (holy) prayers; you are the punisher of wrath; such is your great mightiness.
Thou leadest with good guidance and preservest men; distress o'ertakes not him who offers gifts to thee. Him who hates prayer thou punishest, Brhaspati, quelling his wrath: herein is thy great mightiness.
