[NOTES—The original place of the first invocatory verse is in the Ṛgveda, I. 90. 9 The deities invoked here may be regarded as the delegates among whom the Supreme distributes some of His powers They might also be conceived as manifestations of the One who lives behind them. Ṛgveda, I. 164. 46 declares that Indra, Mitra, Varuṇa, and the rest are but modes of the One, named variously by the sages. Mitra, Varuṇa, and Aryaman are three of the Ādityas or deities of the heavenly sphere mentioned in the Ṛgveda, Mitra is the guardian spirit of the prāṇavṛtti, or the in-breathing and the day. He calls men to activity, sustains earth and sky, and beholds all with unwinking eyes. Varuṇa governs the night and the breathing out. He is commonly associated with Mitra, and is celebrated as the king of gods and the lord of the universe. In the hymns several grand attributes and functions are ascribed to him, such as presiding over the waters in the firmament and the sea, upholding heaven and earth possessing extraordinary power and wisdom, hating falsehood, seizing transgressors with his pāśa (noose), pardoning sin, and bestowing immortality. Aryaman is the regent of the sun and the eyes. He is the chief of the Pitṛs (manes), and the Milky Way is called his path he is the ruling deity in the sun as well as in the eyes. Indra is the governor of the atmosphere and the upper regions; he presides over the gods. A vanquisher of the demons of darkness and a benefactor of man, his power and energy are devoutly praised in the Vedas, and he is most frequently invoked. Bṛhaspati is the deity in whom piety and religion are personified, and also the god of wisdom and eloquence. He is therefore deemed appropriately the genius of speech and intellect, while Indra is considered that of strength, of the hands. Viṣṇu is often invoked with Indra. He is the personification of the light and the sun, especially in his striding over heaven in three steps, ‘explained as denoting the threefold manifestation of light in the form of fire, lightning, and the sun, or as designating the three daily stations of the sun in his rising, culminating, and setting’. He is also considered the chief of the Ādityas and the guardian spirit of the feet; and finally he is identified with the supreme all-pervading Reality. Just as man is looked upon as a universe in epitome, the deities that rule over the cosmic functions are also conceived to have their corresponding rulership in the personality of man. Hence it is appropriate that these gods are propitiated so that by their grace physical health is attained, without which strenuous effort for the attainment of the highest wisdom is not
