Uṣas (English spelling)
In Hindu mythology, she is the goddess of dawn. She is said to be the daughter of Dyaus (the heavenly gods) and the sister of Ratri (the goddess of night), and is said to be the mother or lover of Surya (the sun). She is always a beautiful young woman, and is the most prominent of the goddesses in the Rig-Veda. She is the forerunner of the sun, repelling darkness, awakening living things, and promoting activity. In later mythology, she is overshadowed by Surya and loses importance.

インド神話における暁の女神。ディアウス (天神) の娘,ラートリー (夜の女神) の妹とされ,スーリヤ (太陽) の母または恋人であるといわれる。この女神は常にうら若い美女として『リグ・ベーダ』における女神中最も顕著な存在であり,天則を誤らず,時を違えず,太陽の先駆として暗黒を退け,生物を覚醒させ,活動を促進させる。後世の神話においては,スーリヤの影に隠れ,重要性を失うにいたる。
