Editing Savitr (section)

===Other names and epithets===
;Apam napat (Born of the Waters): Savitr is at least once.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/rigveda/rv06050.htm |series=Rig Veda |at=Book&nbsp;6: Hymn&nbsp;L |title=Viśvedevas |translator-last=Griffith |translator-first=Ralph T.H.}}</ref> called "apam napat" (Child of Waters), an epithet applied to [[Agni]] and [[Soma (deity)|Soma]] as well.

;God of the Middle Region: Commentator [[Yaska]] commenting on the verse where Savitr is attributed with causing rain, regards Savitr as belonging to the mesial region (or atmosphere) for possessing this ability, adding that the [[Ādityas|Aditya]]s, who are in heaven, are also called Savitr. It is probably owing to this epithet and because Savitr’s paths are said to be in the atmosphere, that this deity occurs among the gods of the mesial expanse among those of outer space in the [[Nighantu|Naighantuka]].

;Prajapati: Savitr is once depicted as the [[Prajapati]] of the world. In the [[Satapatha Brahmana]] (v. 12, 3, 5), Savitr has been identified with Prajapati and in the [[Taittiriya Brahmana]] (v. 1, 6, 4), it has been stated that Prajapati becoming Savitr created living beings.

;Damunas (Domestic): In the [[Rig Veda]], Savitr has been twice spoken of as domestic ("damunas"), an epithet otherwise almost entirely limited to Agni.

;Asura: Like many other gods, Savitr is mentioned as ‘[[asura]]’ in many hymns of the Rig Veda.

;Pusan: Savitr alone is the lord of vivifying power and on account of his movements (yamabhih), he becomes [[Pushan|Pusan]]. In two consecutive verses, Pusan and Savitr are described as connected. In the first the favour of Pusan who sees all beings is invoked, and in the second, Savitr is besought to stimulate the thoughts of worshipers who desire to think of the excellent brilliance of the [[Deva (Hinduism)|Deva]]. The latter verse is the celebrated [[Gayatri Mantra|Savitri]], now termed as the [[Gayatri]] mantra, with which Savitr was in later times invoked at the beginning of [[Vedic]] study.

;Mitra: Savitr is also said to become [[Mitra]] by reason of his laws.

;Bhaga: Savitr seems sometimes to be identified with [[Bhaga]] also, unless the latter word is here only an epithet of Savitr. The name of Bhaga, the good god bestowing benefits is indeed often added to that of Savitr so as to form the single expression Savitr Bhaga or Bhaga Savitr, with the term Bhaga simply acting as a qualitative and attributive adjective.
