On the other hand some Dasa tribes (e.g. Sambara) had resisted Indra to the end, ie. they fought against Indra, then against Indra and Agni, and finally against Indra, Agni and those Dasa tribes who went over to the other side (i.e. joined to Indra as the people of Divodasa), and finally, they collapsed. The result of this turmoil was that some tribes while escaping / chasing each other broke through the passes and found themselves in the subcontinent, but this part of the story has already been covered by Witzel.

As a consequence of this it was not Varuna who found its way later than the other gods to the Vedic “pantheon,” but somebody else, namely Indra. The finding is based on the analysis of the correlations of lists of god names, and early myths, so there may be a considerable time shift between the real physical contacts among the people belonging to these gods and the joint occurrences of the names of their deities in the hymns of the Rgvedaa. In any case, the real newcomer was Indra, and basically only Indra.
