Aditya not only arrived from Aditi

Aditya is noch only to arrive from Aditi (the earth) but also from A-Daitya meaning: not Daitya which is the following generation of gods (by the greeks called titans, the egaptians call them Nertheru). The meaning is therefore also that the Adityas (as Mithra, Varuna, Surya a.s.o.) belong to a former generation of gods.--62.153.17.13 (talk) 08:36, 21 April 2017 (UTC)

Bṛhaspati is tricky - Talk:Bṛhaspati#Requested_move. ऋ is disputed and can be transliterated as i or u; though I prefer Brihaspati in line with Krishna, Rishi. --Redtigerxyz ^Talk 16:09, 10 July 2021 (UTC)

Ādityas → Adityas – As a suggestion, primary transliteration/ simplified transliteration is preferred to formal transliteration (like IAST/ ISO). Most RS which used simplified english use Aditya. Examples are given by Redtigerxyz:

Indra is not a name!

Indra is not a name but a title (king of the gods), belonging to different persons at different times. For example in Rigveda 4.42.3 Varuna calls himselve Indra (therefore the name of the hymn should be Indra Varuna instead of Indra and Varuna), which according to the Puranas in the Tretayuga was the case. 2003:F5:F710:CB00:6CFF:3FC9:145A:2A1A (talk) 14:42, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

Because the Adityas refer to the gods of the tvelve signs of the zodiac in the Tretayuga (which changed in the Dvaparayuga at which time most of the hymns of the Rigveda are conposed), the question arises, wether Indra also refers to a constellation. From Rigveda 6.17.1 it seems that the constellation Hercules could be meant. Of course this is (today?) not a constellation of the zodiac, but maybe this is the meaning of Rigveda 6.17.4a (Jameson & Brereton translation). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:F5:F710:CB00:6CFF:3FC9:145A:2A1A (talk) 14:35, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
