Can not stress enough about the symbolism of the "union of opposites": the nagi (the
formless, the virtual, the dark) and the Sun, etcetera. A more thorough study of this
symbolism us too far afield from our subject (Traite d'Histoire des Religions, ps. 184 and
357). Simply remember the great importance of the Nagas and snakes in the mythologies
and cults aborigines forming part of Hinduism: nagi such as aquatics, Naga symbolizes
the dark, the pre-formal, the original sacred force, focusing this time not and at the
bottom of the ocean, but in the bosom of the earth. The naga snakes in India represent the
genius of place, the sacred Aboriginal (see Note VH1, 9). However, the Nagas are always
