Though she is often called the Wife of Vishṇu, in the Mahābhārata and Rāmāyana, she is instead depicted as his mother, while in the Purānas, she is the mother of both Vishṇu and Indra.
In the Rig-Veda, Aditi had eight sons, of whom she presented seven to the other gods. The eighth son was cast out. The seven who were presented to the gods became the Ādityas, while the eighth, her son by the sun, was Mārtt-aṇḑa.
