VI

In the early Vedic literature we have no supreme Goddess any

 

more than a supreme God . There were a number of Goddesses like

 

Usas ,Ratri ,Vak ,Prithvi and Sarswati and a number of consorts of

 

gods ,like Indrani ,Varunanai ,etc . But all of them occupy a very

 

subordinate position .However before the end of the Vedic period we

 

see signs of the emergence of a Supereme Goddess as well as

 

Supereme God . Just as Vishnu arises in importance by assimilating

 

to himself the traits of Indra ,Surya and Varuna ,so does the consorts

 

of Rudra by assimilating to herself the traits of the other Goddess

 

especially Vak.
