Dyaus Pita - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In vedic religion, Dyaus Pita is the Sky Father, husband of Prithvi and father of Agni and Indra (RV 4.17.4). |
 | | Sharing a fate similar to nordic Tyr's, already in the Rig Veda, Dyaus Pita is all but featureless, appearing in hymns 1.89, 1.90, 1.164, 1.191 and 4.1 in simple invocations. |
 | | Thomas Oberlies tentatively identifies Asura and Dyaus in pre-vedic religion (both appear as Indra's father, but Asura is never associated with Prithvi, so there is a possibility of two conflicting myths). |
