RV 10.71.1

बृहस्पते प्रथमं वाचो अग्रं यत् प्रैरत नामधेयं दधानाः । यद् एषां श्रेष्ठं यद् अरिप्रम् आसीत् प्रेणा तद् एषां निहितं गुहाविः ॥

bṛhaspate prathamaṃ vāco agraṃ yat prairata nāmadheyaṃ dadhānāḥ | yad eṣāṃ śreṣṭhaṃ yad aripram āsīt preṇā tad eṣāṃ nihitaṃ guhāviḥ ||

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

When-men, Brhaspati, giving names to objects, sent out Vak's first and earliest utterances, All that was excellent and spotless, treasured within them, was disclosed through their affection.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
