त्वं नो गोपाः पथिकृद् विचक्षणस् तव व्रताय मतिभिर् जरामहे । बृहस्पते यो नो अभि ह्वरो दधे स्वा तम् मर्मर्तु दुच्छुना हरस्वती ॥
tvaṃ no gopāḥ pathikṛd vicakṣaṇas tava vratāya matibhir jarāmahe | bṛhaspate yo no abhi hvaro dadhe svā tam marmartu ducchunā harasvatī ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Thou art our keeper, wise, preparer of our paths: we, for thy service, sing to thee with hymns of praise. Brhaspati, whoever lays a snare for us, him may his evil fate, precipitate, destroy.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
