Dwita, the god or Rishi of the second plane of the human ascent. It is that of the
Life-force, the plane of fulfilled force, desire, free range of the vital powers which are no

and conscious in new realms, immense ranges of life, the “far-extending existence” of
the next verse, which are screened off from our ordinary physical consciousness. Trita
is the god or Rishi of the third plane, full of luminous mental kingdoms unknown to the
physical mind.

Swarnara, often spoken of as if it were a country; it is not Swar itself, the utter
superconscient plane, but the power of itself which the light of that world forms in

round the seat of the sacrifice. These are elsewhere called the scouts, “éclaireurs”, of the
solar Deity, Varuna.
