Frequently Asked Questions

It praises Mitra–Varuṇa as rulers of ṛta (truth and order) and asks them to help the worshipper cross hardships safely, like a boat crossing water.

Together they represent social harmony and moral law: Mitra stabilizes agreements and friendship, while Varuṇa oversees truth and restrains wrongdoing, so their joint power protects the world’s order.

The hymn itself points to sunrise; it is especially fitting at dawn in daily worship or in Soma-related contexts when seeking clarity, protection, and a return to ṛta.
