What happens in this chapter
The thirty-three gods on the barhis
A short hymn of five verses by Manu Vaivasvata to all the gods. The thirty-three and more have sat on the barhis; they have found and given doubly. Varuna, Mitra and Aryaman, the fires with their wives, honoured with vashat, are named. Let them guard us from west, north, south and east, with all the people. As the gods will, so it comes to pass; no one can break it, not even the stingy mortal. The last verse speaks of seven: the seven have seven spears, seven glories, and seven splendours they wear.
वरु॑णो मि॒त्रो अ॑र्य॒मा स्मद्रा॑तिषाचो अ॒ग्नय॑ः ।
पत्नी॑वन्तो॒ वष॑ट्कृताः
