What happens in this chapter

Come to our fair sacrifice

Bahuvrikta Atreya offers three Gayatri verses to Varuna and Mitra. Come to us, destroyers of foes, with your strength, to this lovely rite. You rule over all, wise ones; as lords, make our thoughts swell and bear fruit. Come to the Soma pressed by the giver, O Varuna and Mitra, to drink it. The hymn is a plain, brief invitation to the pressing.

आ नो॑ गन्तं रिशादसा॒ वरु॑ण॒ मित्र॑ ब॒र्हणा॑ ।

विश्व॑स्य॒ हि प्र॑चेतसा॒ वरु॑ण॒ मित्र॒ राज॑थः ।
ई॒शा॒ना पि॑प्यतं॒ धिय॑ः

viśvasya hi pracetasā varuṇa mitra rājathaḥ |
īśānā pipyataṃ dhiyaḥ

71.3

उप॑ नः सु॒तमा ग॑तं॒ वरु॑ण॒ मित्र॑ दा॒शुष॑ः ।
अ॒स्य सोम॑स्य पी॒तये॑

upa naḥ sutamā gataṃ varuṇa mitra dāśuṣaḥ |
asya somasya pītaye
