Varuṇa. Early Hindu god, prominent in the Vedic period. Possibly connected with
vṛ (‘veil’), he was associated with the all-covering sky, but in the
Vedas his activities resemble those of
Indra and
Agni. He was connected with oceans and rivers, though in later mythology Indra has taken precedence over him, and he has been reduced to the god of death.
