The Religion and Philosophy of the Veda and Upanishads v1.c16.s2.3

v1.c16.s2.3

Like other gods, Mitra and Varuṇa have a chariot which they mount in the highest heaven, and in heaven is their golden abode, which is lofty with a thousand columns and a thousand doors. To that palace resorts the all-seeing sun to report to Varuṇa the deeds of men: in it the Fathers behold him, and the Çatapatha Brāhmaṇa⁴ represents Varuṇa as seated in the midst of heaven, gazing upon the places of punishment around him.
