10. He, the upholder of order, Varuna, sits down among his people; he, the wise, sits there to govern.
11. From thence perceiving all wondrous things, he sees what has been and what will be done.
12. May he, the wise Âditya, make our paths straight all our days; may he prolong our lives!

15. He, who gives to men glory, and not half glory, who gives it even to our own selves;—
16. Yearning for him, the far-seeing, my thoughts move onwards, as kine move to their pastures.
17. Let us speak together again, because my honey has been brought: that thou mayst eat what thou likest, like a friend.
