Mitra-Varuna

Mitra-Varuna

Mitra and Varuna are two deities (asuras) frequently referred to in the ancient Indian scripture of the Rigveda. They are both considered Adityas, or deities connected with the Sun; and they are protectors of the righteous order of rta. Their connection is so close that they are frequently linked in the dvandva compound Mitra-Varuna.

For further information, see the articles on the separate deities Mitra (Vedic) and Varuna.
