The Boghaz Keui inscription from Asia Minor refers to the following Vedic deities :

  • A.Indra, Varuṇa, Agni and Surya
  • B.Indra, Varuṇa, Mitra and Agni
  • C.Indra, Mitra, Varuṇa and Nasatyas
  • D.Indra, Mitra, Dyuas and Nasatyas

Answer: C

The Boghaz Keui inscription of about 1380 BC records a treaty between the Hittite king Suppiluliuma and the Mitanni king Mattiwaza, and it invokes the gods Mitra, Varuna, Indra and the Nasatyas as witnesses. These are Vedic deities, which is why the record matters for the date and movement of the Indo-Aryans. Options A and B include Agni, Surya or omit the Nasatyas, and option D names Dyaus, none of which appear in the treaty list. So the answer is Indra, Mitra, Varuna and Nasatyas, option C.
