"60" Quotes from Famous Books
 ... Varuna, as in VII. 62; or as the "eye" of the two other gods, and 'like Savitar' in VII. 63. So in VII. 66. 14-16, a mere fragment of a hymn is devoted exclusively to S[u]rya as "lord of all that stands and goes." But in these hymns there are some very interesting touches. Thus in VII. 60. 1, the sun does not make sinless, but he announces to Mitra and Varuna that the mortal is sinless. There are no other hymns than these addressed to S[u]rya, save those in the first and tenth books, of which nine stanzas of I. 50 (see above) ...

What was so tragic about this situation was that it was precisely hospitals, built to be the safeguard of the community, ...
