पुराणम्
English
वरुण १ / VARUṆA I. One of the eight guardians of the quarters.1) Birth. varuṇa was the son of prajāpati, kaśyapa born of aditi. He was one of the twelve sons of aditi. So he is considered to be one of the twelve Ādityas (Sons of aditi). The twelve Ādityas are dhātā, Aryaman, mitra, śakra, varuṇa, aṁśa, bhaga, Vivaśvān, pūṣā, savitā, tvaṣṭā and viṣṇu. (M.B. Ādi Parva, Chapter 65, Stanza 15).
These twelve Ādityas were the twelve devas (gods) known as tuṣitas in the manvantara of manu cākṣuṣa. A statement occurs in viṣṇu purāṇa, aṁśa 1, Chapter 15, that when Vaivasvata manvantara was about to begin after the end of cākṣuṣa manvantara, the famous tuṣitas united together and took birth as the sons of kaśyapa.2) Kingship of the waters. In kṛtayuga the devas approached varuṇa and said to him. “You must be the lord of all the waters, as indra is our protector. You can live in the heart of the ocean. All the rivers in the world, and the ocean which is their husband will obey you. You will wax and wane along with candra (Moon).” varuṇa agreed to comply with their request. All of them anointed varuṇa as the King of the waters. (M.B. śalya Parva, Chapter 47).3) The Guardian of the quarter west. brahmā appointed varuṇa as the guardian of the western zone. vaiśravaṇa once did penance before brahmā, and when brahmā appeared before him, he made a request that he should be appointed as one of the guardians of the quarters. brahmā replied. “I have already selected indra, varuṇa and yama as guardians of the points. I was thinking who, the fourth, should be, when you came. So from this day onwards, indra shall be the guardian of the East, yama that of the South, varuṇa, that of the West and you vaiśravaṇa shall be the guardian of the North.” After saying this, brahmā disappeared. Thus varuṇa became the guardian of the West. (uttara rāmāyaṇa).4) Family. varuṇa had several wives and children. Prominent among them were gaurī and varuṇānī. Mention is made about the sons suṣeṇa, vandī and vasiṣṭha and daughter vāruṇī. Cārṣaṇī was another wife of varuṇa. prajāpati bhṛgu, who died in the sacrifice of dakṣa took birth as the son of varuṇa and Cārṣaṇī. devī jyeṣṭhā, the daughter of Priest śukra was another wife of varuṇa. The children of jyeṣṭhā were bala, Surā the Suranandinī and Adharmaka the destroyer of the elements. The semen of varuṇa fell on Valmīka (White-ant-hill) from which the great hermit vālmīki was born. Besides them, dakṣasāvarṇi, the ninth manu was the son of varuṇa. puṣkara was another son of varuṇa. The handsome puṣkara was received as husband by the daughter of soma (candra). vandī, who was defeated by the hermit aṣṭāvakra at the palace of janaka was the son of varuṇa. (M.B. Udyoga Parva, Chapter 117, Stanza 9
