⁷⁴⁸ वारुणीभ्यां रात्रिसुपतिष्ठते । इमं मे वरुण तत्त्वायामीति द्वाभ्याम् । एवमेव प्रातः प्राङ्मुखस्तिष्ठन् ॥ मैत्रीभ्यामहर्उपत्तिष्ठते मित्रस्य चर्षणीधृतो मित्रो जनान्यातयतीति द्वाभ्याम् । बौ. ध. सू. II. 4. 11-14. The verses इमं मे वरुण and तत्त्वा यामि are respectively Ṛg. I. 25. 19 and I. 24. 11; and मित्रस्य चर्षणीधृतो and मित्रो जनान् are respectively Ṛg. III.59.6 and 1. Gobhila-smṛti II. 11-12 prescribes the two verses 'udu tyam' (Ṛg. I. 50. 1 and in other Vedas also) and 'citram devānām' (Ṛg. I. 115. 1 and in other Vedas also) as the upasthāna in both saṁdhyās. In modern times the usages vary, many recite the whole of Ṛg. III. 59 in the morning adoration and Ṛg. I. 25. 1-10 (addressed to Varuṇa) in the evening. The Sm. C. (I. p. 139) says that the worship of the Sun should be done by the mantras from that śākhā of the Veda to which one belongs.
