Moving about in the ocean for many, many years, the mighty HiraṇyÄká¹£a smote the gigantic wind-tossed waves again and again with his iron mace and reached VibhÄvarÄ«, the capital of Varuṇa.
Varuṇa is supposed to be the predominating deity of the waters, and his capital, which is known as VibhÄvarÄ«, is within the watery kingdom.
