Gods Vasus of Vedic mythology personify directions of light or
cardinal points of world, namely symbolize
world space that similarly to heavenly gods Adityas but differs as gods in the
category Vasus symbolize the terrestrial phenomena. It is possible to tell that
gods Vasus are terrestrial displays of heavenly gods Adityas, and Vasus are
necessary factors according to which existence of heavenly gods is perceived as
without terrestrial displays the sky is impossible to see. Or it is possible to
tell that terrestrial gods is a mirror by means of which heavenly gods are
present at the visible world. Namely terrestrial gods are directly
interconnected to people and create conditions according to which people
perceive world around, and including perceive heavenly gods as people see the
heavenly phenomena displayed in terrestrial gods.
Gods in the category Vasus correspond with the open consonant sounds
which have the following
properties:
-
,
,
form conformable
pairs of voiced and voiceless sounds;
-
is soft
sounding of sound
and corresponds
with pair of sounds
;
-
form group of 5
sibilant sounds;
-
is the detached
sound namely it is not conformable to other sounds.
The listed phonetic properties of sounds can be presented as the chart:

and
form pairs of
conformable voiced and voiceless consonant sounds, and form a quadrangle which
is comparable with the philosophical concept of four elements: fire, earth, air,
water. Sounds
form a pentagon which is comparable with the Chinese
philosophical concept of five elements, that is specified on the chart by a red font:
- sound
corresponds with the element of tree;
- sound
corresponds with the element of fire;
- sound
corresponds with the element of
ground;
- sound
corresponds with the element of metal;
- sound
corresponds with the element of water.

Names of terrestrial gods Vasus of Vedic mythology mean: APA (water or pervading),
ANILA (wind), DHARA (ground or support),
PAVAKA or ANALA (fire or living), PRABHASA (morning dawn or pre-dawn),
SOMA (moon or soma-plant), PRATYUSHA (sun or shining light), DHRUVA (polestar or motionless).
Gods SOMA and PRATYUSHA correspond with sounds
and
as light of the sun
and light of the moon are displays of two sources of a universe.
God DHRUVA corresponds with the sound
as the polar star (polestar) is in the centre of the world where the
space egg from which there was a universe.
It is necessary to consider that the terrestrial god SOMA is display of the
space god SOMA, namely in texts of Vedas is spoken about different displays of
this god. The terrestrial god SOMA corresponds with the sound
but the space god SOMA corresponds with the sound combination ![]()
(Æ).
The space god SOMA is interconnected with AGNI to which there corresponds the
sound combination ![]()
and consequently the terrestrial god SOMA too is interconnected with AGNI as the
sound
and the sound combination ![]()
are similar. For example, in Cyril's Slavic alphabet there is the letter
which is applied
to a designation of the sound
or the sound
.
Gods APA, ANILA, DHARA, PAVAKA correspond with sounds
as these sounds form a quadrangle comparable with 4 elements: fire, earth, air,
water.
God PRABHASA corresponds with the sound
as the morning dawn unites light of the sun and the moon and stars, and also the
sound
is in
middle of a triangle of sounds
which symbolize the sun and the moon and the polar star.
Taking into account the listed ratio, it is possible to compare sounds and
terrestrial gods Vasus of Vedic mythology to zodiac signs that is shown on the
following chart:

global world category of space, and correspond with zodiac signs Gemini and
Sagittarius.
Sounds

signs Pisces and Virgo.
Terrestrial gods Vasus are displays of heavenly gods Adityas of Vedic mythology
according to ratio with zodiac signs, but 12 heavenly gods correspond with 12
zodiac signs, and 8 terrestrial gods symbolize 8 directions of light (cardinal
points of world) and consequently correspond with some zodiac signs to which
there correspond global world categories of matter, energy, spaces, time. And
also according to ratio with zodiac signs there are ratio of terrestrial gods Vasus
and the appropriate sounds of speech with numbers in numerology and atmospheric
gods of Vedic mythology in the category Rudras.
The following chart shows ratio of terrestrial gods Vasus with numerological
numbers and directions of light within the magic square:
![]() |
According to rules of numerology in the magic square:
number 1 corresponds with the north, number 7 corresponds with the east,
number 9 corresponds with the south, number 3 corresponds with the west.
Accordingly gods PAVAKA, ANILA, DHARA, APA correspond with the north,
the east, the south, the west, and other gods of Vedic mythology in the
category Vasus symbolize intermediate directions of light. Number 8 and god DHRUVA correspond with northwest. Number 4 and god PRABHASA correspond with southwest. Number 2 and god SOMA correspond with southeast. Number 6 and god PRATYUSHA correspond with northeast. |
As it is possible to see, among gods Vasus there is no central god who
corresponds with number 5 and consequently the main head for gods Vasus is
INDRA, and also the main head are AGNI and SOMA who are interconnected with
INDRA and symbolize the central gods. And the SOMA is present among terrestrial
gods Vasus as terrestrial display. And also there is the significant god DHRUVA
who corresponds with the sound
as this sound is in the centre of a pentagon of sounds
where symbolizes the space egg which corresponds with the polar star and with
the centre of heavenly sphere where the axis of rotation of the Earth is
directed and there is a North Pole of the world.
Pay attention that the god DHRUVA in the shown magic square is opposite to the
god SOMA and consequently forms the interconnected pair with the god SOMA. If to
take into account that the SOMA is interconnected with
INDRA and is in the centre of the world then the god DHRUVA too is
interconnected with
INDRA and is interconnected with the centre of the world. In total the centre of
the world is connected to gods of Vedic mythology to which there correspond sounds
![]()
![]()
or JHWÆ if sounds are written by Latin letters that corresponds to the Sacred
Name of God YAHWE or JEHOVAH.
YAHWE is a name of the God which was told for Moses on Mount Horeb, and it was
proclaimed on Mount Sinai.
According to rules of the Jewish writing this name of the God wrote by means of
four letters YHWH (tetragrammaton), and according to religious rules this name
was said by priests once a year. In other time the name of the God was unpronounceable.
The Divine Comedy describes conversation of Dante Alighieri with Adam. In this
conversation Adam has told that he has named the God by name J
(
) as Adam was
the first man who gave names to animals and birds, and also has named the God by
name J.
Therefore it is possible to assert that the Vedic mythology is coordinated with
the Bible mythology though the Vedic Sanskrit differs from the Aramaic Language
by means of which the Bible is written. And also it is possible to assert that
the name of the God YAHWE or J occurs from a parent language which for the
first time was made by Adam. This parent language existed before confusion of
languages and is fixed in ratio of gods of Vedic mythology with sounds of human
speech that proves to be true by means of identity of letters in a name of the
God in the Bible with sounds of speech which correspond with the central gods of
Vedic mythology.
In Vedic mythology there was concept VAC or "speech" which is similar to LOGOS
in the ancient Greek philosophy. This concept VAC personifies knowledge and is
source of Vedas, namely 33 gods of Vedic pantheon of gods correspond with sounds
of speech and personify essence of language, but VAC personifies sounding speech
and senses of words.
In essence concept VAC is similar to WORD about which in John's gospel it is
told: "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was
God". Namely it is possible to tell that sounds of human speech and gods of
Vedic mythology is an image of divine LOGOS according to which there was the
world and there were words. And also it is possible to tell that the name of the
God is made in all sounding of human speech and consequently on Mount Horeb
there was named a name in which sounds form the centre of metaphysical system of
human speech.
The following page results the general table according to which gods of Vedic mythology correspond with numbers in numerology and sounds of human speech.
