Rişhi: Vāmadeva (RV 4.50.5)
sa
suşhtubhā sa ŗkvatā gaņenavalam ruroja phaligam raveņa,
bŗhaspatir-usriyā havya-sūdaĥ kanikradad-vāvashatīr-udājat.
He with
his cohort of the rhythm that affirms, of the chant that
illumines, has broken Vala into pieces with his cry; Brhaspati
drives upward the Bright Ones who speed our offerings; he shouts
aloud as he leads them, lowing they reply.
Bŗhaspati is the Master of the potent Word, the
Word that arises in the soul. With the rhythms of the words that
illumine, with the rhythms that affirm and confirm in the
consciousness the truth ensouling these rhythms, he overruns the
enclosures of Vala who pens in them the bright rays of Light
robbed from man. With his cry of the charged Mantra, he breaks the
walls and leads upward these pent-up radiances which infuse with
their light and joy the activities of the man who is consecrating
his energies to the Divine and quicken them. The rays that are
imprisoned below by the foe hear and respond to the call of the
Word of Power from above. See also Gaņapati or Brahmaņaspati.
