The gods are occasionally thirty-four in number, eight Vasus, eleven Rudras, twelve [=A]dityas, heaven and earth, and Praj[=a]pati as the thirty-fourth; but this Praj[=a]pati is the All and Everything (_Cat.Br_.i.6.4.

2; iv.5.7.2 ff.).

Of these gods, who at first were all alike and good, three became superior, Agni, Indra, and S[=u]rya.

But, again, the Sun is death, and Agni is head of all the gods.

Moreover, the Sun is now Indra; the Manes are the seasons, and Varuna, too, is the seasons, as being the year (_Cat.
Br._ iv.5.4.
