Aditi

In Indian myth, the mother of Vishnu, who conquered the Earth for the gods
and became the first Aditaya, or “Upholder” of the sky (the moral order of the
cosmos), and is therefore identified with Atlas. His offspring were the Aditayas
(or Daityas), who supported the heavens.
(See Aditayas, Atlas)
