प॒वित्रं॑ ते॒ वित॑तं ब्रह्मणस्पते प्र॒भुर्गात्रा॑णि॒ पर्ये॑षि वि॒श्वतः॑ अत॑प्ततनू॒र्न तदा॒मो अ॑श्नुते शृ॒तास॒ इद्वह॑न्त॒स्तत्समा॑शत
"SPREAD is thy cleansing filter, Brahmaṇaspati: as Prince, thou enterest its limbs from every side. The raw, whose mass hath not been heated gains not this: they only which are dressed, which bear, attain to it."
तपो॑ष्प॒वित्रं॒ वित॑तं दि॒वस्प॒दे शोच॑न्तो अस्य॒ तन्त॑वो॒ व्य॑स्थिरन् अव॑न्त्यस्य पवी॒तार॑मा॒शवो॑ दि॒वस्पृ॒ष्ठमधि॑ तिष्ठन्ति॒ चेत॑सा
"High in the seat of heaven is spread the Scorcher's sieve: its threads are standing separate, glittering with light. The Swift Ones favour him who purifieth this: with consciousness they stand upon the height of heaven."
अरू॑रुचदु॒षसः॒ पृश्नि॑रग्रि॒य उ॒क्षा बि॑भर्ति॒ भुव॑नानि वाज॒युः मा॒या॒विनो॑ ममिरे अस्य मा॒यया॑ नृ॒चक्ष॑सः पि॒तरो॒ गर्भ॒मा द॑धुः
"The foremost spotted Steer hath made the Mornings shine, and yearning after strength sustains all things that be. By his high wisdom have the mighty Sages wrought: the Fathers who behold mankind laid down the germ,"

"Gandharva verily protects his dwellingplace; Wondrous, he guards the generations of the Gods. Lord of the snare, he takes the foeman with the snare: those who are most devout have gained a share of meath."
ह॒विर्ह॑विष्मो॒ महि॒ सद्म॒ दैव्यं॒ नभो॒ वसा॑नः॒ परि॑ यास्यध्व॒रम् राजा॑ प॒वित्र॑रथो॒ वाज॒मारु॑हः स॒हस्र॑भृष्टिर्जयसि॒ श्रवो॑ बृ॒हत्
"Rich in oblations! robed in cloud, thou corapassest oblation, sacrifice, the mighty seat of Gods. King, on thy chariot-sieve thou goest up to war, and with a thousand weapons winnest lofty fame."
