What happens in this chapter
Vata, father, brother and friend
Ula Vatayana prays to Vata, the wind, in gayatri. May Vata blow medicine to us, healing and joy for our hearts; may he lengthen our lives. Vata, you are our father, our brother and our friend; make us live. The treasure of amrita is set in your house yonder, Vata; give us from it, that we may live. In three verses the wind becomes kin and healer, and the breath of life is asked for as a gift from the store of the immortal.
उ॒त वा॑त पि॒तासि॑ न उ॒त भ्रातो॒त न॒ः सखा॑ ।
स नो॑ जी॒वात॑वे कृधि
uta vāta pitāsi na uta bhrātota naḥ sakhā |
sa no jīvātave kṛdhi
यद॒दो वा॑त ते गृ॒हे॒३॒॑ऽमृत॑स्य नि॒धिर्हि॒तः ।
ततो॑ नो देहि जी॒वसे॑
yadado vāta te gṛhe'mṛtasya nidhirhitaḥ |
tato no dehi jīvase
