They are: Ansa, Aryman, Bhaga, Daksha, Dhatri, Indra, Mitra, Ravi, Savitri, Surya, Varuna, and Yama. )

Dhisana (Goddess) A Hindu goddess of prosperity. She appears in the Vedas. (The Vedas are the earliest texts which exist in Hinduism. There are four of them, and they are collectively referred to as Sruti, which means "that which is heard", and Samhita, which simply means "collection." The oldest is called the Rig Veda, with the other three being the Yajur Veda, the Sama Veda, and the Atharva Veda. The Rig Veda is the most important, with the others having come later and are based upon it. The word "veda" translates from Sanskrit as knowledge or wisdom. They were composed and performed orally over a lengthy period of time, with the generally accepted dates being from around 1500 BC to 1200 BC, though some most probably originated before the Indo-Aryan migration into India. The Aryan poets who invented them handed them down orally for generations, and they are thought to have endured these transitions with little changes before they were written down . They are considered by Hindus to be revealed literature, having originated with the gods whose praise they sing. Important later Hindu scriptures such as the Brahmanas and the Upanishads are commentaries on the original Vedas.)

Rati (Goddess) The Hindu goddess of sexual desire. She was the daughter of the sun god Daksha and the wife of Kama, the god of love.

Vayu (God) An early deity of the wind or wind spirit in Hindu myth. Allied to him are the Maruts, the storm devils.  (The Maruts were minor storm deities who in Vedic times were the sons of Rudra and the attendants of Indra. There number is variously given as two, twenty-seven, or sixty. They were aggressive and violent in character. They were the drivers of the clouds, the bringers of wind, the fellers of trees, and the crushers of mountains. They sometimes accompanied Indra into battle, and attended him at his court. In the Ramayana the story is told of their birth. Their mother, the goddess Diti, wanted to give birth to a son who would rival Indra in power, so she planned to remain pregnant for an entire century to accomplish this. Indra learned of this and was worried about it. To upset her plan, he hurled his thunderbolt at her womb while she was still pregnant, shattering it. The Maruts were born from the single, splintered fetus.)
