What happens in this chapter
Let us not suffer for another's sin
Urucakri Atreya gives four short Gayatri verses to Mitra and Varuna. Wide is your help; may I gain your kind favour. May we have food to sustain us, and may we be yours, O Rudras. Guard us with your guards, save us with your saving, and may we overcome the Dasyus by our own strength. The hymn ends on a prayer often remembered: O you of wondrous power, may we not bear in our own bodies, nor in our children or descendants, the fault that another has done.
ता वां॑ स॒म्यग॑द्रुह्वा॒णेष॑मश्याम॒ धाय॑से ।
