Thus, in vi.1.2.36, the opinion of 'some,' that the fire on the altar is to bear the worshipper to the sky, is objected to, and it is explained that he becomes immortal; which antithesis is in purely Upanishadic style, as will be seen below.
BRAHMANIC THEORIES OF CREATION.
In Vedic polytheism, with its strain of pantheism, the act of creating the world[61] is variously attributed to different gods.

At the end of this period theosophy invented the god of the golden germ, the great Person (known also by other titles), who is the one (pantheistic) god, in whom all things are contained, and who himself is contain in even the smallest thing.

The Atharvan transfers the same idea in its delineation of the pantheistic image to Varuna, that Varuna who is the seas and yet is contained "in the drop of water" (iv.

16), a Varuna as different to the Varuna of the Rik as is the Atharvan Indra to his older prototype.

Philosophically the Rik, at its close, declares that "desire is the seed of mind," and that "being arises from not-being." In the Br[=a]hmanas the creator is the All-god in more anthropomorphic form.
