ARYAMAN

Aryaman is one of the Adityas, sons of Aditi and sage Kashyap. His name literally means
‘Companion of the Noble’.
He is the Vedic god of hospitality, and is generally invoked along with the most revered of
Adityas, viz. Mitra and Varun. He is also the incharge of Pitrilok, the abode of the ancestors or the
Manes, and receives his share of offerings through the Sacred Fire. (My note: the connection with
Bharani, which desire is to be the Lord of the Ancestors)
His consort is Matrika, who is said to have given birth to a higher species of human beings
who spent their time in scholarly pursuits and realization of their Inner Consciousness.

Aryaman - (Sanskrit: अरर्यमन,न pronounced as "aryaman"; nominative singular is aryama)

is one of the early Vedic deities. His name signifies "close friend", "play-fellow" or "companion".
He is the third son of Adity, the mother of the Adityas. In the RigVeda Aryaman is described as the
protector of mares, and the Milky Way (aryamṇáḥ pánthāḥ) is said to be his path. Aryaman is
commonly invoked together with Varuna-Mitra, Bhaga, Bṛhaspati, and other Adityas and Asuras.
According to Griffith, the Rig Veda also suggests that Aryaman is a supreme deity alongside Mitra
and Varuna. According to the Rig Veda, Indra who is traditionally considered the most important
deity in the Rig Veda is asked to obtain boons and gifts from Aryaman. The Hindu marriage oaths
are administered with an invocation to Aryaman being the witness to the event.

Vestigial Deity
Some authorities consider Aryaman to be cognate with several indo-european theonyms,
such as the Gaul Ariomanus, the zoroastrian Airyaman and Irish Éremón, all possibly pointing to a
common proto-indo-european deity, Xáryomēn.
