========
This is brilliantly anticipated,
as I have already told you
I basically follow the trifunctional pattern of Dumezil.
I differ in two points.
1. I'm trying to integrate Greek myths in the pattern,
2. I'm trying to dig deeper with macro-comparison.

===========
But you don;t seem to be understanding the contradictions - you said Varuna
is an Indic God, but Dumezil insists on the pair system everywhere- with
Mitra is being present at least in some IE.
========
There is no contradictions.
You seem unable to distinguish between a theonym and a deity, a word and its
semantic content,
and you seem unable to understand a religion is not just a disordely heap of
deities.
These deities have connections.
That's why Dumezil's PATTERN is so interesting.
Varuna is not an Indic God,
Because functionally, Varuna exists elsewhere under other names.

Go by facts and logic, not by your beliefs and French brother hood
connections.

I invite you to start providing a benchmark example of these principles !
