Among Varuna's aliases are Jalapati, "Lord of Water," and Ainburaja, "King of Water." See A. Macdonell, Vedic Mythology (Strassburg, 1897).

		However, past estimates of the size of Varuna and other KBOs were based on a guess for the albedo, or reflectivity, of such objects of 4 percent.
		In an effort to independently determine both the size and albedo of Varuna, astronomers David Jewitt and Herve Aussel of the University of Hawaii and Aaron Evans of the State University of New York at Stony Brook simultaneously observed the KBO using two telescopes atop Mauna Kea, Hawaii.
		One observed Varuna at visible wavelengths to record the amount of sunlight it reflected, while the other observed at submillimeter wavelengths -- a region of the electromagnetic spectrum beyond the infrared -- to measure the amount of flbody radiation the body emitted.

	Notes on Varuna and other KBO's
		The "remoteness" of Varuna could also be seen as the large architectonic structures of a cathedral, or like the Vatican, or like the U.S. Supreme Court, where "The Law" is mythically put "in the heavens" as if bestowed by a higher power.
		Varuna is "beyond" that, it is entirely "plutonian" or non-human, like a "cosmic order" instead of a social order, like the impersonal laws of nature instead of the laws of society...
		This is another aspect of Varuna, which also shows how Hamas' militants see themselves as representatives or voices of a "higher authority" than this, their "divine right" to kill their enemies, those who invade their country and robe them of their most cherished values: their land and their integrity.

	Inez Brewer, TEXT Vol 5 No 2 October 2001
		One clear advantage Varuna has over the universities is that we are able to employ whichever writer we feel to be most appropriate for the professional guidance of the particular program, even those who may not have the formal qualifications needed to teach in the universities.
		Varuna's selection process is based entirely on the quality of the writing and the potential of the writer, rather than less specific criteria including TER scores or the ability to pay.
		As Varuna consolidates this new phase in its development, we envisage both a rapid increase in awareness amongst Australian writers of what we can offer them, and the need for constant review and evaluation in order to provide the most relevant and professional services we are able.
