what about this quote from the Aitareya AraNyaka [2:4:3]:

parokSa-priyA iva hi devAH pratyakSa-dviSaH

"For the devas love the indirect mode of exposition and hate the

direct."

 

SB 11.21.35 similarly states, parokSa-vAdA RSayaH parokSaM mama ca priyam:

"The rishis and mantras deal in esoteric terms, and I also am pleased by

such confidential descriptions."
