\nThe Eighth Hymn to Mitra-Varuna <\/font><\/b>
\n\t\t\t<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\nTHE HOLDERS OF THE LUMINOUS WORLDS <\/b>
\n\t\t\t<\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n[The Rishi invokes Mitra and Varuna as the upholders of the worlds or planes of being, especially the three luminous worlds
\nin which the triple mental, the triple vital, the triple physical find the light of their truth and the divine law of their powers.
\nThe strength of the Aryan warrior is increased by them and guarded in that imperishable law. From the luminous worlds
\nthe rivers of the truth descend with their yield of bliss. In each of them a luminous Purusha fertilises a form of the triple thought
\nconsciousness of the Truth; these, which make the luminous day of the soul, found in man the divine and infinite consciousness
\nand in that the divine peace and the activity by which in the extended universality of our being there is the rich felicity and
\nthe creation of the godhead. The divine workings are impaired and restricted by the gods in the ordinary life of the vital and
\nthe physical being, but when Mitra and Varuna uphold in us the luminous worlds in which each of these finds its truth and
\npower, they become complete and firm for ever.] <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n1. Three worlds of the Light you two uphold, O Varuna, three
\nheavens, three mid-worlds, O Mitra, and you increase the might of the Warrior and guard him in the imperishable law
\nof your working.

2. Your fostering cows1<\/font><\/sup> have their streams, O Varuna, O Mitra,
\nthe rivers milk out their honeyed yield. There stand wide three luminous Bulls2<\/font><\/sup> and cast their seed into the three
\nThoughts. <\/span><\/p>\n

\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

<\/p>\n

\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

3. In the dawn I call to the divine Mother infinite, in the mid
\nday and at the rising of the sun. I desire of Mitra and Varuna the peace and the movement in the forming of the all3<\/font><\/sup> for
\nfelicity and for the creation and the begetting.4 <\/font>
\n<\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

<\/p>\n

\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

4. Because you are the upholders of the luminous sphere of the
\nmid-world and the luminous sphere of the earth, O divine Sons of Infinity, O Mitra and Varuna, the immortal gods
\nimpair not your workings which are firm for ever.5<\/font><\/sup>
\n<\/span> <\/p>\n

1  Dhenavah<\/i>, the rivers of the Truth, as gavah<\/i>, the luminous cows, are the rays of its
\n light.
\n<\/font>
\n\t\t\t<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

<\/p>\n

2 The Bull is the Purusha, soul or conscious being; the Cow is the Prakriti, the power
\nof consciousness. The creation of the godhead, the Son, comes by the fertilising of the triple luminous consciousness by the triple luminous soul of the Truth-being so that that
\nhigher consciousness becomes active, creative and fruitful in man. <\/font>
\n\t\t\t<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

<\/p>\n

\nThe action of the sacrifice consists in the formation or “extension” of the universal  being,
\nsarvatāti<\/i>, and of the divine being, devatā<\/font>ti<\/i>.
\n<\/font>
\n\t\t\t<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

4 Of the Son, the godhead created within the humanity.
\n<\/font>
\n\t\t\t<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

<\/p>\n

5 That is, in the ordinary workings of the life-plane and the material plane, because
\nthey are unilluminated, full of ignorance and defect, the law of our divine and infinite being is impaired or spoiled, works under restrictions and with perversions; it manifests
\nfully, steadfastly and faultlessly only when the ideal, supramental truth-plane is upheld in us by the pure wideness and harmony of Varuna and Mitra and takes up the vital and
\nthe physical consciousness into its power and light.<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n
