Dear and respected Maharaja, PAMHO. AGTSP. There are 12 sons of Aditi. They are known as adityas. One of them is Vamana the dwarf incarnation of Supreme Lord. Mitra is one of the aityas so brother of Vamanadev. Vivasvan, Aryama, Püñä, Tvañöä, Savitä, Bhaga, Dhätä, Vidhätä, Varuëa, Mitra, Çatru and Urukrama are 12 sons of Aditi. I heard Aryama acted as Yama during his absence from office when he came down to earth as Vidura. It is mentioned Mitra is Sun God and Yama is the son of Sun God. Your humble servant, Bhadra Govinda Dasa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
