Editing Aditi (section)

== Family ==
Aditi is the daughter of [[Daksha]] and [[Panchajani|Asikni]] (Panchajani). The ''[[Puranas]]'', such as the ''[[Shiva Purana]]'' and the ''[[Bhagavata Purana]]'', suggest that Daksha married all of his daughters off to different people, including Aditi and 12 others to Sage Kashyapa. When Kashyapa was living with Aditi and Diti in his ashrama, he was really pleased with Aditi's services, and told her to ask for a boon. Aditi prayed for one ideal son. Accordingly, [[Indra]] was born. Later, Aditi gave birth to the twelve adityas, namely [[Varuna]], [[Parjanya]], [[Mitra (Vedic)|Mitra]], [[Ansa (Hinduism)|Amsha]], [[Pushan]], [[Dhatri]], [[Aryaman]], [[Surya]], [[Bhaga]], [[Savitr]], [[Vamana]], and Viṣṇu.<ref>{{Cite web |last=www.wisdomlib.org |date=2011-12-19 |title=Aditya, Āditya: 38 definitions |url=https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/aditya |access-date=2022-10-13 |website=www.wisdomlib.org |language=en}}</ref><ref name=Gopal-1990-p62/> Her 16 younger sisters were also married to Sage [[Kashyapa]].
