The Religion and Philosophy of the Veda and Upanishads v1.c16.s2.44

v1.c16.s2.44

¹ Foy, *Die königliche Gewalt*, pp. 80–6; Moulton (*op. cit.*, p. 61) inclines to deny any celestial character in the god; von Schroeder (*Arische Religion*, i. 343) finds two roots of Varuṇa's character, the observation of the glories of the sky and the consciousness of the moral law, in harmony with his belief in the latter consideration as one of the three essential roots of religion, beside nature worship and belief in souls.
