25 वरुणाधिकरणम्

4.3.3 वरुणाधिकरणम् The prima facie view is : the कौषीतकि text introduces the world of वरुण in between the worlds of वायु and of the Sun. वरुण therefore is to be placed after वायु in accordance with the order of the series in the above text. The above view is wrong. Since lightning exists in the clouds and clouds constitute the body of वरुण. वरुण is to be placed after lighting and Indra and प्रजापति should come after वरुण. Notes : 1. I.3.
