xix. 40- 1. What that is defective (chidrá) of my mind, and what of my voice hath found (? jagā́ma) Sarasvatī enraged, let Bṛihaspati, in concord with all the gods, mend (sam-dhā) that.

2. Do not ye, O waters, devastate (pra-math) our wisdom nor our bráhman; come ye flowing with easy flow, being invoked; [be] I of good wisdom, having splendor.

3. Do not ye injure our wisdom, nor our consecration, nor what ardor (tápas) is ours; be they propitious to us in order to [prolonged] life-time; let them become [our] propitious mothers.
