- - - Nature provides both godhood in the form of Varuna - hood and
demonhood in the form of Vritra. Varuna form is assistive, while the Vritra form
creates obstacles. Under the influence of Vritra, the doer and knower sides of a
person quarrel with each other, just like the war of Kauravas and Pandavas. The
symbolism of these two are two tigers, which can be subdued by the
soul(the third person) only when he bears the brilliance of sun on his head, as
has been shown in one seal. The reason for this is that sun's lusture is
symbolic of the omnisciency and - - of God. Only by acquiring this lustre soul
can make Vritra her slave or associate. This thinking has been expressed in a
seal where a rheno and a tiger are standing quiet and a third person is
offering some drink in the drinking vessel. This third person is the Prajaapati
or fire of Braahmanic texts who enters the tree in the form of a horse(praana or
Indra) and due to which the tree is called Ashwattha/peepal. All gods are
embedded in this horse form of Prajaapati who has entered the body tree, and
fire in this form is said to carry oblation to all gods. All the gods in
the form of senses get power from this .
The power of Prajaapati, which empowers all the gods inside
Aswattha tree(body), is called cow. Prajaapati creates her with praanas. This
cow is an uninterrupted source of Soma, therefore the source of power for all
gods. This power in the form of cow is the thunderbolt of Indra, which is said
to have been received from the loka of sun and which enters in the form of a cow
in every tree/body and creates fear for those birds which try to eat the
man/soul. In
The powers of Varuna and Vritra are interchangeable. The assisting power of Varuna can become destructive power of Vritra. This is indicated by one seal. One side of this seal bears a symbol symbolizing Vritra. The other side has a cord passing through different forms of letter a. This cord passes fully through some a's an partially through other. This seal is full of flying birds who have eaten one out of three persons and have injured the other two. This reminds one of the man - eating birds of Rigveda who run away on hearing the sound of 'regulated cow' in the body - tree. Here the word regulated is meaningful, because one form of power of soul is unregulated also.
The power - cord of Varuna, which normally regulates, when it
finds itself unable to do so, transforms into a cord of sin and the man bound by
this cord become a target of Vritra. This has been depicted in an
In order to conquer or kill this buffalo - bull, it is necessary that this bull ceases from destruction, which is clear from the name of a buffalo in a seal.
