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.
