Waters
Vasiṣṭha Maitrāvaruṇi
4 verses: triṣṭubh
In contrast to VII.47, the waters in this hymn have more physical definition: in par ticular, verse 2 gives a notable typology of types of water: “heavenly waters” (rain), “those that flow” (rivers), “those found by digging” (well water), and “those that arise by themselves” (springs)—all of which end by flowing into the sea. But the purity and purifying power of flowing waters, noted in the first three verses, gives them a moral as well as a physical quality, and in verse 3 the god Varuṇa in his role as observer and judge of human actions is found among them. From passages like this it is easy to see how Varuṇa came to be so closely associated with the waters, a dominant characteristic of Varuṇa in later times. Verse 4 moves from the physical and moral to the ritual realm, to the employment of water in the soma sacrifice, the theme that prevailed in VII.47.
