  In $~^3$He-B, two atoms pair in an orbital angular momentum $1$ spin triplet
state above the phase transition temperature with $SO(3) \times SO(3)$
symmetry. Below the transition temperature, this symmetry is spontaneously
broken to the diagonal $SO(3)$ due to spin-orbit coupling. Considerations based
on effective potentials and solitons show that $SO(3)$'s gets enhanced to
$SU(3)$'s and the symmetry breaking is that of $G= SU(3) \times SU(3)\times
U(1)$ to $H= SU(3)$. The theory of the resultant Goldtsone modes can be
naturally formulated as a gauge theory of $H$. Its Gauss law is treated here
and shown to lead to surface states in a container with a dynamics governed by
large gauge transformations.
  Observable consequences are pointed. The transference of the analysis to the
chiral model of QCD is pointed out where $SU(3)$ are the left and right chiral
groups, $U(1)$ is the axial $U(1)$ , the surviving symmetry is flavour $SU(3)$
and the Goldstone modes are the pions.
