The Sun-god, in his friendly aspect is called Mitra. As the deity is closely associated with Varuṇa, only a single hymn of the Ṛgvedasaṃhitā is devoted to the deity.(RV 3.59)
And another thing is to be noted here it is said in a birth based varna,
With the rising and setting, the Sun creates the day and night. Being the creator of the day and night, it provides heat and light towards the whole universe and gives food and vegetation to all the creatures.
Parpola (1988) extracts the Rgvedic verses where Indra, the purandara 'fort-destroyer' is active in the destruction of the ninety-nine or hundred puras 'forts' of his enemies, the Dasas. Based on a verse from the Satapatha Brahmana (6.3.3.24-25),
the Vedas were composed orally and they always were and still are, to some extent, oral literature. They must be regarded as tape recordings, made during the Vedic period and transmitted orally, and usually without the change of a single word.” (WITZEL 1997b:258).
