He then lifts up his arms, with (Vâg. S. X, 16), 'Golden-bodied, ye two lords rise like the sun: mount ye the chariot, O Mitra and Varuna, and thence behold Aditi and Diti!' Mitra and Varuna verily are the two arms, and the chariot (-seat) is the man: therefore he says, 'Mount ye the chariot, O Mitra and Varuna!'--'thence behold Aditi and Diti!' By this he means to say, 'See ye your own (property) and that of others''
