Verse 1.2.11

tena taṃ ha bṛhaspatirudgīthamupāsāṃcakra etamu eva bṛhaspatiṃ manyante vāgghi bṛhatī tasyā eṣa patiḥ || 1.2.11 ||

Word-for-word explanation:
Tena, for that reason; bṛhaspatiḥ, Bṛhaspati; ha tam, that [prāṇa]; udgītham upāsāñcakre, worshipped prāṇa as udgītha [as Brahman, to whom Om is sung]; etam u eva bṛhaspatim manyante, they regard this [prāṇa] as Bṛhaspati; hi, for; vāk, speech; bṛhatī, is powerful; tasyāḥ eṣaḥ patiḥ, prāṇa is its lord.
