"Attempts to link Ouranos to Varuna etymologically have been
generally abandoned. "The Greek Ouranos is the Sanskrit Varuna"
is no longer as undisputed as it was ***in Dumézil's time***

Dumezil died in 1986 and rejected all connections between
Ouranos and Varuna
Centauros and Gandharva
Flamen and Brahman
