We all come from the East—all that we value most has come to us from the East, and in going to the East... everybody ought to feel that he is going to his 'old home,' full of memories, if only he can read them.

Additional quotes by Friedrich Max Müller

श्लोकों में वरुण को आदित्य अर्थात् अदिति का पुत्र कहा गया है। ‘अदिति’ शब्द का अर्थ है जो कभी खंडित या नष्ट न हो, तथा जो बन्धनहीन एवं अनन्त हो। स्वयं वेद में भी यदा-कदा अदिति की प्रार्थना परा कहकर की गई है। अर्थात अदिति वस्तुत: पृथ्वी, आकाश तथा सूर्य और उषा आदि सबसे परे है। धार्मिक चिन्तन के उस आदिम युग में एक दिव्य शक्ति की इस रूप में मान्यता वस्तुत: आश्चर्यजनक है। वेदों में हमें अदिति की अपेक्षा भी कहीं अधिक ‘आदित्यों’ का वर्णन मिलता है जिसका शब्दिक अर्थ है अदिति के पुत्र या दृश्य पृथ्वी और अन्तरिक्ष से अप्रकट और एक अर्थ में अनन्त हैं।
