RV 1 190.1

अनर्वाणꣳ वृषभम् मन्द्रजिह्वम् बृहस्पतिꣳ वर्धया नव्यम् अर्कैः । गाथान्यः सुरुचो यस्य देवा आशृण्वन्ति नवमानस्य मर्ताः

anarvāṇaṁ vṛṣabham mandrajihvam bṛhaspatiṁ vardhayā navyam arkaiḥ | gāthānyaḥ suruco yasya devā āśṛṇvanti navamānasya martāḥ

With chants strengthen anew the unassailable bull, the pleasant-tongued Bṛhaspati, the leader of songs, fair-shining, to whom, as he roars, the gods and mortals listen.

GLORIFY thou Br̥ihaspati, the scatheless, who must be praised with hymns, sweet-tongued and mighty, To whom as leader of the song, resplendent, worthy of lauds, both Gods and mortals listen.

— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1896)

RV 1 190.2

तम् ऋत्विया उप वाचः सचन्ते सर्गो न यो देवयताम् असर्जि । बृहस्पतिः स ह्य् अञ्जो वराꣳसि विभ्वाभवत् सम् ऋते मातरिश्वा

tam ṛtviyā upa vācaḥ sacante sargo na yo devayatām asarji | bṛhaspatiḥ sa hy añjo varāṁsi vibhvābhavat sam ṛte mātariśvā

Timely speeches accompany him, (he) who has been let loose like the gush (of the soma) of those who serve the gods; for Bṛhaspati, straightway, became broad spaces, expansive; in ṛta (he became) Mātariśvan.

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

On him wait songs according to the season even as a stream of pious men set moving. Br̥ihaspati-for helaid out the expanses- was, at the sacrifice, vast Mâtariṣvan.

— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1896)

RV 1 190.3

उपस्तुतिꣳ नमस उद्यतिꣳ च श्लोकꣳ यꣳसत् सवितेव प्र बाहू । अस्य क्रत्वाहन्यो३ यो अस्ति मृगो न भीमो अरक्षसस् तुविष्मान्

upastutiṁ namasa udyatiṁ ca ślokaṁ yaṁsat saviteva pra bāhū | asya kratvāhanyo3 yo asti mṛgo na bhīmo arakṣasas tuviṣmān

Let him extend the praise and the raising up of homage and the refrain, as Savitṛ (stretches) forth his two arms — by whose power he is not to be smitten, who is fearsome like a wild beast, free of demons, full of might.

AI translation rendered from the Sanskrit, not a published edition — the model flagged this verse as uncertain

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

The praise, the verse that offers adoration, may he bring forth, as the Sun sends his arms out, He who gives daily light through this God's wisdom, strong as a dread wild beast, and inoffensive.

— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1896)

RV 1 190.4

अस्य श्लोको दिवीयते पृथिव्याम् अत्यो न यꣳसद् यक्षभृद् विचेताः । मृगाणाꣳ न हेतयो यन्ति चेमा बृहस्पतेर् अहिमायाꣳ अभि द्यून्

asya śloko divīyate pṛthivyām atyo na yaṁsad yakṣabhṛd vicetāḥ | mṛgāṇāṁ na hetayo yanti cemā bṛhaspater ahimāyām̐ abhi dyūn

His refrain goes in heaven and on earth; like a steed he extends it, bearing the mystery, discerning; and these (shafts) go like the missiles aimed at wild beasts — the missiles of Bṛhaspati, against the serpent-wiled ones, day after day.

AI translation rendered from the Sanskrit, not a published edition — the model flagged this verse as uncertain

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

His song of praise pervades the earth and heaven – let the wise worshipper draw it, like a courser. These of Br̥ihaspati, like hunters' arrows, go to the skies that change their hue like serpents.

— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1896)

RV 1 190.5

ये त्वा देवोस्रिकम् मन्यमानाः पापा भद्रम् उपजीवन्ति पज्राः । न दूढ्ये३ अनु ददासि वामम् बृहस्पते चयस इत् पियारुम्

ye tvā devosrikam manyamānāḥ pāpā bhadram upajīvanti pajrāḥ | na dūḍhye3 anu dadāsi vāmam bṛhaspate cayasa it piyārum

Those evil, stout ones who, thinking thee, O god, a mere bullock, live off the good — to the ill-minded thou dost not grant what is dear; Bṛhaspati, thou requitest the reviler.

AI translation rendered from the Sanskrit, not a published edition — the model flagged this verse as uncertain

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

Those, God, who count thee as a worthless bullock, and, wealthy sinners, live on thee the Bounteous,– On fools like these no blessing thou bestowest: Br̥ihaspati, thou punishest the spiteful.

— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1896)

RV 1 190.6

सुप्रैतुः सूयवसो न पन्था दुर्नियन्तुः परिप्रीतो न मित्रः । अनर्वाणो अभि ये चक्षते नो ऽपीवृता अपोर्णुवन्तो अस्थुः

supraituḥ sūyavaso na panthā durniyantuḥ pariprīto na mitraḥ | anarvāṇo abhi ye cakṣate no 'pīvṛtā aporṇuvanto asthuḥ

Easy to travel like a path with good pasture, hard to mislead, like a friend won over all round — those who look upon us as unassailable, covered over, stood uncovering (themselves).

AI translation rendered from the Sanskrit, not a published edition — the model flagged this verse as uncertain

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

Like a fair path is he, where grass is pleasant, though hard to win, a Friend beloved most early. Those who unharmed by enemies behold us, while: they would make them bare, stood closely compassed.

— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1896)

RV 1 190.7

सꣳ यꣳ स्तुभो ऽवनयो न यन्ति समुद्रꣳ न स्रवतो रोधचक्राः । स विद्वाꣳ उभयꣳ चष्टे अन्तर् बृहस्पतिस् तर आपश् च गृध्रः

saṁ yaṁ stubho 'vanayo na yanti samudraṁ na sravato rodhacakrāḥ | sa vidvām̐ ubhayaṁ caṣṭe antar bṛhaspatis tara āpaś ca gṛdhraḥ

He to whom the praises go together as rivers do, as streams with hemming currents to the sea — he, knowing, looks upon both (worlds) within: Bṛhaspati, the crosser (?), and the waters, greedy (for them).

AI translation rendered from the Sanskrit, not a published edition — the model flagged this verse as uncertain

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

He to whom songs of praise go forth like torrents, as rivers eddying under banks flow sea-ward- Br̥ihaspati the wise, the eager, closely looks upon both, the waters and the vessel.

— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1896)

RV 1 190.8

एवा महस् तुविजातस् तुविष्मान् बृहस्पतिर् वृषभो धायि देवः । स नः स्तुतो वीरवद् धातु गोमद् विद्यामेषꣳ वृजनꣳ जीरदानुम्

evā mahas tuvijātas tuviṣmān bṛhaspatir vṛṣabho dhāyi devaḥ | sa naḥ stuto vīravad dhātu gomad vidyāmeṣaṁ vṛjanaṁ jīradānum

Thus has the great one, of mighty birth, full of might, been established — Bṛhaspati the bull, the god. Praised, may he grant us (wealth) rich in men and rich in cattle. May we find the invigorating nourishment, the swift-flowing (gift of) community.

AI translation rendered from the Sanskrit, not a published edition — the model flagged this verse as uncertain

So hath Br̥ihaspati, great, strong and mighty, the God exceeding powerful, been brought hither. May he thus lauded give us kine and horses. May we find strengthening food in full abundance.
