ADITYAS, THE TWELVE
These are symbolic of twelve aspects of the Self
or Soul in the twelve signs of the Zodiac; that is, they signify
twelve states in the Soul's development through the Cycle of Life
(the year).
“Varuna became relegated to a position among seven secondary deities
of the heavenly sphere called Adityas (afterwards increased to
twelve, and regarded as diversified forms of the sun in the several
months of the year), and subsequently to a dominion over the waters
when they had left the air and rested on the earth ." -MON.
WILLIAMS, Indian Wisdom , p. 13.
The last sentence signifies that Truth (Varuna) rules the
aspirations arising from the lower nature (earth), responding to
them by showering down truths (waters) into the mind (air) in order
to fructify the lower nature (earth).
