The individuality of P[=u]shan dies out, but the vaguer he becomes the more grandiloquently is he praised and associated with other powers; while for lack of definite laudation general glory is ascribed to him.

The true position of P[=u]shan in the eyes of the warrior is given unintentionally by one who says,[30] "I do not scorn thee, O P[=u]shan," _i.e.,_ as do most people, on account of thy ridiculous attributes.

For P[=u]shan does not drink _soma_ like Indra, but eats mush.

So another devout believer says: "P[=u]shan is not described by them that call him an eater of mush."[31] The fact that he was so called speaks louder than the pious protest.

Again, P[=u]shan is simply bucolic.
