Aditi

अदिति

Aditi is the wife of Kaśyapa and mother of the Ādityas, among whom are counted Indra, Varuṇa, Mitra, and Viṣṇu Himself as Vāmana; her name means the unbounded, the undivided, and in the Rigveda she is praised as earth, sky and the mother of all gods. Diti, mother of the daityas, is her sister, and the strife of their sons is a standing thread of Puranic narrative. At SB 2.3.4 one who desires food is directed to worship Aditi and one who desires heaven her sons — placing her motherhood of nourishment and of the Ādityas together in a single verse.
