Dear Sri Kasturi Rangan,

Sure, I will try to find out the translations of Varuna's suktas in Rigveda.  

Meanwhile, is it possible for any one to get the references/quotes and 
justifications (with regard to Narayana Paratvam) given by Sri Yamunacharya, 
Sri Ramanujacharya and any other Sri vaishnava Gurus? If we can get that, I 
think we will be able to visualize the subject in a better way. Because, Ifeel 
currently we are selecting bits & pieces from Veda with whatever knowledge we 
have and trying to present it to justify the case which I feel maynot be the 
approach used by our Gurus. What we should do is to get to know the approach 
our poorvacharyas used and apply it.



Regards
Mohan.R
