Description	English: TRIBUTES TO A FEW OF THE LESS COMMONLY PICTURED VARUNA, the guardian of sacred law and order. FROM THE RIG VEDA: "And I ask my own heart, `When shall I be close to Varuna? Will he enjoy my offering and not be provoked to anger? When shall I see his mercy and rejoice?' I ask myself what that transgression was, Varuna, for I wish to understand. I turn to the wise to ask them. The poets have told me the very same thing: `Varuna has been provoked to anger against you.' O Varuna, what was the terrible crime for which you wish to destroy your friend who praises you? Proclaim it to me so that I may hasten to prostrate myself before you and be free from sin, for you are hard to deceive and are ruled by yourself alone."
