	Lord of the Cosmos
	Guardian of the Final Gate,
	God of Heavenly Waters,
	God of the Universal Order.





	�A Zoroastrian god, part of a triad.

	�The name is first seen in the 14th century, in a treaty between the Hittites and the Mitanni.

	�Ousted in settlement with the Demons, demoted to
	God of the Oceans, who waters the soil, the earth and the sky,
	God of Seas and Rivers,
	God of the Winds.


	�Lord of Righteousness, deity of fluidity and movement.
	�The one who helps to see "intelligence in hearts and fire in waters'"
	�He "speeds the clever man to wealth."
	�With a water-pot in his hand, sits on a throne of diamonds with his wife Varini, in his gem-encrusted palace on Pushpagiri, an underwater mountain.
	�Varuna rides a monster fish called Makara with the head and legs of an antelope. He carries a noose in one of his four hands.
	Hindu Mythology

	�Varuna, Vedic god, represents the attribute of justice, weighing sins and forgiving them.
	�Varuna, thousand-eyed god who sees all that happens in the world!
	�Varuni, his consort, the waters of origin.
	Varuni, goddess of golden liquor, wine and intoxication!




	Varuna is that which is the warp,
	Varuna is that which is the woof,
	Varuna is of our own land, he is of foreign lands.
	Varuna is transcendent, he is immanent.





	�Varuna is a large asteroid in the Kuiper Belt, possibly a 10th planet!
