Thus, destroy the evil-minded mortal, the ignorant, the demon; strike down the enemy with your power, strike down the abyss with your power.

पीपिवांसं सरस्वत स्तनं यो विश्वदर्शतः । भक्षीमहि प्रजामिषम्
May we consume the nourishing milk of Sarasvatī, which is abundant and visible to all, as food for offspring.

In the sacrifice, in the seat of men, on earth, where the noble ones rejoice, where I press the libations for Indra, for joy and for the first vigor.

We invoke Bṛhaspati, the immortal, who delights in our hymn, the ancient, pure-voiced, revered among households, unvanquished, for favor.

Bṛhaspati and you, Indra, are lords of the heavenly and earthly riches; bestow wealth upon the one who praises, and always protect us with blessings.
