-ro-pa's followers. His teaching is contained in a number of works attributed to him.

Skt. title of the Hymn of Creation,
Rg Veda
10. 129:
Neither not-being nor being was, at that time. There was no air-permeated space, nor sky beyond. What enfolded all? Where? Under whose protection? Was there deep, unfathomable water? … Who knows for certain? Who can state it, when was it born, and whence came this creation? The gods appeared later, after this world's creation, so who can know whence it has evolved? … He who surveys it in the highest heaven, He only knows—or perhaps even He does not know.
