Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 6.73

यो अद्रिभित् प्रथमजा ऋतावा बृहस्पतिर् आङ्गिरसो हविष्मान् । द्विबर्हज्मा प्राघर्मसत् पिता न आ रोदसी वृषभो रोरवीति ॥

yo adribhit prathamajā ṛtāvā bṛhaspatir āṅgiraso haviṣmān | dvibarhajmā prāgharmasat pitā na ā rodasī vṛṣabho roravīti ||

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

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

जनाय चिद् य ईवत उ लोकम् बृहस्पतिर् देवहूतौ चकार । घ्नन् वृत्राणि वि पुरो दर्दरीति जयञ् छत्रूंर् अमित्रान् पृत्सु साहन् ॥

janāya cid ya īvata u lokam bṛhaspatir devahūtau cakāra | ghnan vṛtrāṇi vi puro dardarīti jayañ chatrūṃr amitrān pṛtsu sāhan ||

Brhaspati, 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.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

बृहस्पतिः सम् अजयद् वसूनि महो व्रजान् गोमतो देव एषः । अपः सिषासन् स्वर् अप्रतीतो बृहस्पतिर् हन्त्य् अमित्रम् अर्कैः ॥

bṛhaspatiḥ sam ajayad vasūni maho vrajān gomato deva eṣaḥ | apaḥ siṣāsan svar apratīto bṛhaspatir hanty amitram arkaiḥ ||

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

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
