Mitra and Varuna (Sanskrit: Script error: No such module "lang".) are two deities frequently referred to in the ancient Indian scripture of the Rigveda.[1] They are both considered Ādityas, meaning sons of Aditi; and they are protectors of the righteous order of Ṛta. Their connection is so close that they are frequently linked in the dvandva compound Mitra–Varuna.
Mitra-Varuna is also the title of a 1940 book in Proto-Indo-European mythology by Georges Dumézil.[2]
