BIBLE VERSES

NOOSE OF VARUNA

A symbol of knowledge, and love of Truth and Right.

"Having made a noose, the sacrifice throws it over the victim with,-' With the noose of sacred order I bind thee, O oblation to the gods!'-for that rope, forsooth, is Varuna's: therefore he thus binds it with the noose of sacred order." - Sata. Brâh., III. 7, 4, 1.

This refers to the transmutation through buddhi-manas of the lower qualities which have been relinquished for truth and righteousness and offered up as sacrifice to the ideals (gods).
