Hello all,

Can anyone help me by identifying what is being cited here? It does not seem to be RgVedic or from the early Upanishads:

'Thus every object has its corresponding devata. The rishi is perfectly explicit when he says, “Jalavimamini devata,” “Bidyudavimamini devata” etc., i.e., the ‘devata’ which illuminates water, the ‘devata’ which illuminates lightning, etc.'

The quotation is from pp. 143-44 of Girindrasekhar Bose, "The Psychological Outlook of Hindu Philosophy," Indian Journal of Psychology 5 (1930: 119-46; repr. The Modern Review. Jan. 1931: 14-25.

Thanks for any reply,
Alf Hiltebetel
