What happens in this chapter
Vayu, come on your shining chariot
Five anushtubh verses of Vamadeva Gautama to Vayu, with a refrain in the first four: Vayu, come on your shining chariot to drink the pressed soma. Enjoy the offerings no one has yet enjoyed, as a generous lord drives off the poor man's foes. Driving away curses, with your team and Indra as charioteer, come. The two dark ones, Night and Day, holders of treasure, of every form, follow you. Let ninety-nine mind-yoked horses carry you. The last verse asks Vayu to yoke a hundred well-fed bay horses, or let his thousand-horsed chariot come with power.
