Sūrya (1–3), Mitra and Varuṇa (4–6)
Vasiṣṭha Maitrāvaruṇi
6 verses: triṣṭubh
As in the two previous hymns, the poet begins with the rising Sun, who shines down upon all the Ārya tribes and fills the heaven with his light and therefore becomes equal to heaven (vs. 1). The antelopes of the Sun carry him up, as do the praise songs as they rise, and from heaven the Sun witnesses the deeds of humans and attests to the Ādityas and Agni the innocence of the sacrificers (vs. 2). In verse 3 the poet asks that Varuṇa, Mitra, and Agni bring them the highest arká. The primary meaning of arká is “chant,” and therefore the first idea is that these gods will inspire the chant of the sacrificers. But arká can carry a secondary meaning, “flame,” a sense that is actualized here through the description of the gods as candrá “glitter ing” and by arcís “flame,” the latter etymologically related to arká in this meaning. So like the Sun these gods will brighten themselves and also make bright the world of the sacrificers.
In verse 4 three gods—Heaven and Earth and Aditi, the mother of the Ādityas— are addressed in pāda a, but the remainder of ab refers only to two gods, Heaven and Earth. The poet continues to address two gods in verse 5, revealing only in the last pāda that the two gods are Mitra and Varuṇa. Finally, in the last verse the poet matches the image of light spreading over earth and heaven that was introduced in the first verse with the “wide space” across generations and the freedom of move
ment that Mitra and Varuṇa will offer.
Although the poet does not continue the strategy through the whole hymn, verses 1–2 have a striking number of sound repetitions. Thus 1d is krátvā kr̥táḥ súkr̥taḥ kartŕ̥bhir bhūt, 2b ebhí stómebhir etaśébhir évaiḥ, and 2d (á)nāgaso aryamṇé agnáye ca. In verse 2 the sound repetitions underscore the tie between the Sun’s ani mals and the praise songs and the bonds between Aryaman, Agni, and the innocent sacrificers.
