Aryaman (Sanskrit: अर्यमन्‌, romanized: Āryaman) is one of the early Vedic Hindu deities.^[1] His name signifies "Life-Partner", "close friend", "Partner", "play-fellow" or "companion".^[2] He is the third son of Kashyapa and Aditi, the father and mother of the adityas, and is depicted as the mid-morning sun disc. He is the deity of customs, and rules over the customs that rule the various Vedic tribes and peoples.^[3]

In the Rigveda, Aryaman is described as the protector of mares and stallions, and the Milky Way (aryamṇáḥ pánthāḥ) is said to be his path.^[2] Aryaman is commonly invoked together with Varuna-Mitra, Bhaga, Bṛhaspati, and other adityas and asuras.^[2]

According to Griffith, the Rigveda also suggests that Aryaman is a supreme deity alongside Mitra and Varuna.^[4] According to the Rigveda, Indra, who is traditionally considered the most important deity in the Rigveda, is asked to obtain boons and gifts from Aryaman.^[5] Hindu marriage oaths are administered with an invocation to Aryaman being the witness to the event.^[6]^[7]^[3] Aryaman also is the deity of the customs of hospitality.^[3]
