Sol in his chariot, riding across the heavens. Sol was the solar deity in Ancient Roman religion. It was long thought that Rome actually had two different, consecutive sun gods. The first, Sol Indiges, was thought to have been unimportant, disappearing altogether at an early period. Only in the late Roman Empire, scholars argued, did solar cult re-appear with the arrival in Rome of the Syrian Sol Invictus, perhaps under the influence of the Mithraic mysteries.

The Elephant King Attacked by a Crocodile, c1650. A herd of elephants is playing in a river when their leader is attacked by a crocodile. The elephant calls for the god Vishnu to save him, and because the elephant's faith in Vishnu is sincere, the deity comes to his rescue. The story demonstrates the strength of genuine faith and Vishnu's willingness to help the faithful.
