VARUNA, in early Hindu mythology, the greatest, with Indra, of the gods of the Rig Veda.
Ultimately in post-Vedic mythology he becomes the Hindu Neptune.
The name Varuna may be Indo-European, identifiable, some believe, with the Greek ofpavos (Uranus), and ultimately referable to a root var, " to cover," Varuna thus meaning "the Encompasser." Among Varuna's aliases are Jalapati, "Lord of Water," and Ainburaja, "King of Water." See A. Macdonell, Vedic Mythology (Strassburg, 1897).

 Heithni.org - Rydberg's Teutonic Mythology
If this signification is applied to the passage in Vafþrúðnismáll: var á lúður um lagður, we get the meaning that Bergelmir was "laid on a mill," and in fact no other meaning of the passage is possible, unless an entirely new signification is to be arbitrarily invented.
But however conspicuous this signification is, and however clear it is that it is the only one applicable in this poem, still it has been overlooked or thrust aside by the mythologists, and for this Gylfaginning is to blame.
The development of language and the development of mythology have here, as in so many other instances, gone hand in hand.
