Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use Indian English Шаблон:Infobox deityШаблон:Hinduism small Dyaus (Шаблон:Lang-sa, Шаблон:IAST3) or Dyauspitr (Шаблон:Lang-sa, Шаблон:IAST3) is the Rigvedic sky deity. His consort is Prthvi, the earth goddess, and together they are the archetypal parents in the Rigveda.[1]

Nomenclature

Шаблон:IAST stems from Proto-Indo-Iranian *dyā́wš, from the Proto-Indo-European (PIE) daylight-sky god Шаблон:PIE, and is cognate with the Greek Διας - Zeus Patēr, Illyrian Dei-pátrous, or Latin Jupiter (from Old Latin Dies piter Djous patēr), stemming from the PIE Dyḗus ph₂tḗr ("Daylight-sky Father").Шаблон:Sfn

The noun Шаблон:IAST (when used without the Шаблон:IAST 'father') refers to the daylight sky, and occurs frequently in the Rigveda, as an entity. The sky in Vedic writing was described as rising in three tiers, Шаблон:IAST, Шаблон:IAST, and Шаблон:IAST or Шаблон:IAST.[2]

Literature

Dyáuṣ Pitṛ́ appears in hymns with Prithvi Mata 'Mother Earth' in the ancient Vedic scriptures of Hinduism.[3]

In the Ṛg·veda, Dyáuṣ Pitṛ́ appears in verses 1.89.4, 1.90.7, 1.164.33, 1.191.6, 4.1.10. and 4.17.4[4] He is also referred to under different theonyms: Dyavaprithvi, for example, is a dvandva compound combining 'heaven' and 'earth' as Dyauṣ and Prithvi.

Dyauṣ's most defining trait is his paternal role.[5] His daughter, Uṣas, personifies dawn.[6] The gods, especially Sūrya, are stated to be the children of Dyauṣ and Prithvi.[7] Dyauṣ's other sons include Agni, Parjanya, the Ādityas, the Maruts, and the Angirases.[5][7] The Ashvins are called "divó nápāt", meaning offspring/progeny/grandsons of Dyauṣ.[5][8] Dyauṣ is often visualized as a roaring animal, often a bull, who fertilizes the earth.[5] Dyauṣ is also known for the rape of his own daughter, which, according to Jamison and Brereton (2014), is vaguely but vividly mentioned in the Rigveda.[7]

Dyauṣ is also stated to be like a black stallion studded with pearls in a simile with the night sky.[5]Шаблон:Sfn

Indra's separation of Dyauṣ and Prithvi is celebrated in the Rigveda as an important creation myth.[7]
