In Vedic period Aryans were deeply impressed by the great phenomena of nature which they conceived as alive and usually represented in anthropomorphic form.
They believed in a complex and varied host of gods who were 33 in number. They were classified under terrestrial (prithvisthana), atmospheric (antarikshasthana or madhyamasthana) and celestial (dyusthana). Prithvi, Agni, Soma, Brihaspati and the rivers belong to the first order.
Indra, Rudra, Vayu, Vata, Parajanya, and Matarisvan belong to the second order and Dyaus, Surya, Pushan, Vishnu, Mitra the Adityas, Ushas and Asvins to the third order.
