"Polytheism has the peculiarity of departing from each of the Gods: it is not a matter of a plurality of absolute atoms, but of an immediate mutual interrelation."
Happened to glance at Ovid's Metamorphoses, and noted his gloss on "the God" (1.21): "whichever of the Gods it was" (32), another helpful illustration of that generic reference of the singular in several languages mistaken for monotheist "God" by too many English readers.

Many people may not know that the two Pārśvadevatās worshipped alongside Goddess Lakṣmī on Kojāgarī Pūrṇimā are Devarāja Indra and Yakṣarāja Kubera. I’ve worshipped them too, though only some Bengali Lakshmi idols depict them.
