It must be acknowledged, however, that every form of the sun-god is especially lauded for generosity.
VISHNU.
In the person of Vishnu the sun is extolled under another name, which in the period of the Rig Veda was still in the dawn of its glory.

The hymns to Vishnu are few; his fame rests chiefly on the three strides with which he crosses heaven, on his making fast the earth, and on his munificence.[48] He, too, leads in battle and is revered under the title Cipivishta,[49] of unknown significance, but meaning literally 'bald.' Like Savitar he has three spaces, two called earthly, and one, the highest, known only to himself.

His greatness is inconceivable, and he is especially praised with Indra, the two being looked upon as masters of the world.[50] His highest place is the realm of the departed spirits.[51] The hymns to him appear to be late (thus I.155.
6, where, as the year, he has four seasons of ninety days each).

Like P[=u]shan (his neighbor in many lauds) he is associated in a late hymn with the Maruts (V.87).

His later popularity lies in the importance of his 'highest place' (or step) being the home of the departed spirits, where he himself dwells, inscrutable.
