Rig Veda 6.73

English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Served with oblations, first-born, mountain-render, Angiras' son, Brihaspati, the Holy, With twice-firm path, dwelling in light, our Father, roars loudly, as a bull, to Earth and Heaven.

English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Brihaspati, who made for such a people wide room and verge when Gods were invocated, Slaying his enemies, breaks down their castles, quelling his foes and conquering those who hate him.

English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Brihaspati in war hath won rich treasures, hath won, this God, the great stalls filled with cattle. Striving to win waters and light, resistless, Brihaspati with lightning smites the foeman.
