✦ ─── ⟐ ─── ✦

O Bṛhaspati, lord of sacred speech and divine eloquence! O master of the Vedic hymns and keeper of the cosmic truth! We sing thy praise with reverent voices.

Thou art the priest of the gods, the one who doth utter the sacred words that bind all things in their proper order. Through thy speech doth creation itself come into being. The words thou speakest are not mere sounds — they are the very structures of reality, the patterns by which all existence is organized.

Thou hast given wisdom to the ṛṣis and taught them the sacred utterances by which the gods are pleased. Thou hast shown mortals how to perform the sacrifices correctly, how to offer the proper words at the proper time. Through thee hath the bridge been built between the human realm and the realm of the immortals.

We praise thy knowledge, O Bṛhaspati! Thou dost know all the mysteries of the Vedas. Thou dost understand the hidden meanings that lie beneath the surface of the sacred texts. The deeper doctrines, the secret teachings, the revelations that come to the truly devoted — all these spring from thy infinite wisdom.

Grant us, we beseech thee, a portion of thy eloquence. Grant us the ability to speak truth with clarity and power. Give us wisdom to understand the sacred knowledge that thou dost guard. May our words be ever pleasing to the gods and beneficial to all beings.

Bless our offerings, O lord of sacred speech. Accept our hymn and let thy guidance ever illuminate our path. Through thy blessing may we ever dwell in harmony with the divine order.

O Bṛhaspati, hear us and accept our devotion.
