Amsha, revered as the God of Luck, is one of the twelve Adityas and is associated with fortune and prosperity. Born to Aditi and the sage Kashyapa, he is part of the divine solar lineage along with his siblings, including the deities Mitra and Varuna. The Adityas are sons of Aditi and personify various aspects of cosmic order and social virtues. Amsha, as one of these illustrious deities, is frequently invoked with his brothers in Vedic hymns, symbolizing harmony and the distribution of good fortune in the world.
In many hymns of the Rig Veda, Amsha is connected with the blessings of prosperity and well-being, where his role complements the more expansive powers of Mitra (friendship and alliances) and Varuna (cosmic order and justice). Together, these three bring stability and fortune, ensuring both material and spiritual growth.
