| | Prthivi |
 | | Many Hindus worship Prthivi at dawn before beginning to plow or sow. | | | She is said to kiss the center of the world and she symbolizes the eternal patience and resilience of the earth, permitting herself to be abused without rancor. | | | Though the goddess presence was known in early Indian culture, she persists in late Hinduism and may be associated with Vishnu as one of the personifications of his Shakti. |

| | Dyaus Pita - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Thomas Oberlies tentatively identifies Asura and Dyaus in pre-vedic religion (both appear as Indra's father, but Asura is never associated with Prthivi, so there is a possibility of two conflicting myths). | | | Sharing a fate similar to nordic Tyr's, already in the Rig Veda, Dyaus Pita is all but featureless, appearing in hymns 1.89, 1.90, 1.164, 1.191 and 4.1 in simple invocations. | | | In vedic religion, Dyaus Pita is the Sky Father, husband of |

| | FORE: Religion-Hinduism-Introduction |
| | Scholars of the Vedas have held forth various texts and rituals that extol the earth (bhu), the atmosphere (bhuvah), and sky (sva), as well as the goddess associated with the earth (Prthivi), and the gods associated with water (Ap), with fire and heat (Agni), and the wind (Vayu). | | | The Vedic traditions of Hinduism offer imagery that values the power of the natural world. | | | In later Indian thought, these Vedic concepts become formalized into the Samkhya denotation of five great elements (mahabhuta): earth (prthivi), water (jal), fire (tejas), air (vayu), and space (akasa). |

| | The emergence of Devi as an aspect of the supreme deity |
| | Klostermair identifies four goddesses from the Rig Veda who could be seen as important elements for the later development of Devi worship (saktism). | | | These are Prthivi the earth, Usas the dawn, Aditi mother of the gods and Vac, speech. | | | She is refered to as 'she who sees all' and in this regard is invoked to drive away or punish enemies and as a skilled huntress who wastes away people's lives. |

| | The Chhandogya Upanishad by Swami Krishnananda |
| | Next comes meditation on a still subtler concept, the concept of fire, which is dealt with in the next section. | | | The more you are able to concentrate your attention, rather to meditate in the proper sense of the term, to that extent you become superior to others. | | | And perhaps there was some sort of undifferentiated state of things and it is towards that concept that the mind of Narada is being taken now, by being told that superior to solid is liquid, superior to the earth is water. |

| | Nature as Feminine |
| | Hence, she is called Prthivi, the Broad One: | | | The image of the earth as a goddess, known variously as Prthivi, Dharatimata, Jagadddhatri is ancient and all-pervasive. | | | The notion of Heaven and Earth together has been expounded adequately by several scholars. |
