	Elementary Study - The Ten Worlds
		The ten factors of life are: appearance, nature, entity, power, influence, internal cause, relation (or external cause), latent effect, manifest effect and, finally, their consistency from beginning to end.
		The idea of the ten worlds had its origins in a cosmological theory; that is, it was thought that there were ten distinct realms into which people were reborn, the particular realm being determined by the nature of an 'individual's accumulated karma.
		Within a single individual the ten worlds, although they are of course each different from the other, are at the same time unified in their potential to shift from dormancy to activation and back again.

		In regard to the large proportion of dedications to Bandua with epithets that characterize the deity as being associated with different settlements, there is a total absence of any appellatives of this deity relating to family, clan or tribal groups.

		In some other altars where the Lusitanian-Galician goddess was associated with indigenous communities due to the epithets or to the locations where the inscriptions were found, her protective and political character would have stood out.

		In this context, of the many battles mentioned in RV [N 3], 'The battle of Ten kings' (btk) described in RV [VII.18,19, 83] is extremely interesting.
		It is interesting to see that throughout the Epic, in the battle scenes warriors are described as hitting each other with five arrows; or with five, and with ten arrows at a different warrior.
		Interestingly, this kind of description can be traced to a verse in AV [VII.7.28] which reads: "From the five-arrowed, from the ten-arrowed have I delivered thee, freed thee from yama's fetter and from all offence against the gods"-{Griffith's translation, 1999}.
