What happens in this chapter

Sinless before the Adityas

Three verses by Vasishtha to the Adityas. May we gain the fresh help of the Adityas and their most gracious shelter; may the swift ones, hearing us, keep this rite sinless before Aditi. Let the Adityas and Aditi rejoice, with Mitra, Aryaman and Varuna, the straightest guides; let them be guardians of the world and drink the Soma for our help today. The last verse gathers all the Adityas, all the Maruts, all the gods and all the Ribhus, with Indra, Agni and the Ashvins, praised, and ends with the Vasishtha refrain asking protection always.

51.3

आ॒दि॒त्या विश्वे॑ म॒रुत॑श्च॒ विश्वे॑ दे॒वाश्च॒ विश्व॑ ऋ॒भव॑श्च॒ विश्वे॑ ।
