Hail to thee, Bṛhaspati, Lord of the Sacred Word! Thou art the master of speech and prayer. Thou art the teacher of the gods themselves. When the divine assembly gathereth to decide the fate of worlds, it is thou who speakest wisdom. It is thy voice that breaketh the silence of chaos.

In the beginning, when all was void and darkness, thy word did call forth creation. Thy utterances have the power to shape reality itself. What thou speakest becometh truth. What thou namest becometh real. And so thy power is vast beyond measure, for thou art not merely a speaker of words — thou art the very source of speech itself.

O Bṛhaspati! Guide our tongues that we may speak truth. Guide our minds that we may perceive wisdom. Guide our hearts that we may act righteously. For what is speech without truth? What is wisdom without righteousness? What is the power of words if they do not serve the cosmic order?

Thou art the enemy of the asuras, the demons who would destroy the ṛta. Thy words are spears that pierce their armor. Thy prayers are arrows that strike them down. And so all who seek righteousness look to thee for aid. All who would uphold the law invoke thy name.

Grant us thy blessing, O Lord of Prayer! Make us swift in speaking truth and slow in uttering falsehood. Make us wise in counsel and brave in action. Make us worthy servants of the cosmic order. And let thy blessings flow through our words, that all whom we speak to may be uplifted, enlightened, and guided toward the good. O Bṛhaspati, eternal teacher, divine counselor — accept our worship and our praise!
