Ninlil is therefore the archetypal human queen of the land of Mesopotamia, the justified ruler and administrator.

Ninlil is the "young maid" of the city of Nippur, Nunbarshugunu is its "old woman," and the god Enlil is its "young man." Nunbarshugunu advises Ninlil to bathe where she will be noticed by Enlil.
She does so, but when Enlil proposes intercourse, she declines: "my vagina is too small, it knows not how to copulate; my lips know not how to kiss." Enlil rapes her and impregnates her with the moon god, Sin.
In each form he impregnates Ninlil; these three children remain in the Underworld, and Sin is free to take his rightful place.

 Corpus Mmothra: Babylonian Ninazu & The Origins Of The Caduceus
In a hymn to this temple, He is described as a warrior, a champion who destroys the cities of the rebellious lands, as well as the son of Enlil and Ninlil.
Indeed, in this myth, Ninazu is the second god conceived during Ninlil´s descent to the Underworld, when Enlil meets Ninlil disguised as the Gatekeeper of the Devouring River.
Perhaps because He was conceived by the banks of the waters that can devour one´s being and soul, Ninazu became the Guardian of the Waters of Life, whose source was thought to be found in the Underworld.
