Aditya is the daughter of the cosmic god Daksa and the wife of Kasyapa, a descendant of the sun god Marici. She has several sons. In the Rigveda, there are six divine songs that praise the Aditya deity group. Aditya is a compound word, so most of the time it refers to the six children born to Aditya.

Aditya (masculine noun) is another word form derived from Aditi (feminine noun).
Aditi, transliterated as' Adidi ', translates as' Unbound Goddess' or' Liberty Goddess'. She is the daughter of the cosmic god Daksa and the wife of Kasyapa, a descendant of the sun god Marici. She has six children.
Aditya is often used in the plural to indicate that Aditya has given birth to multiple sons. In the Rigveda, some divine songs describe her as having 6 children (RV. II.27), some describe her as having 7 children (RV. IX.114.2), and some describe her as having 8 children (RV. X.72). However, the names of her six sons are often cited in related divine songs. They are Mithra (God of Love), Aliyeman (God of Companion), Paga (God of Agility), Boruna (God of Embrace), Desa (Tenruban), and Ansa (God of Ration)
