यद् देवापिः शन्तनवे पुरोहितो होत्राय वृतः कृपयन्न् अदीधेत् । देवश्रुतं वृष्टिवनिं रराणो बृहस्पतिर् वाचम् अस्मा अयच्छत् ॥
yad devāpiḥ śantanave purohito hotrāya vṛtaḥ kṛpayann adīdhet | devaśrutaṃ vṛṣṭivaniṃ rarāṇo bṛhaspatir vācam asmā ayacchat ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
When as chief priest for Santanu, Devapi, chosen for Hotar's duty, prayed beseeching, Graciously pleased Brhaspati vouchsafed him a voice that reached the Gods and won the waters.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
