According to a tradition, when Indra killed Dyaus Pita, she applauded and married him.

Among the Hindus, this sky-deity becomes "Dyaus Pita".

He is Indra's twin, and therefore a son of Dyaus Pita and Prthivi.

As Prithvi Mata "Mother Earth" she contrasts with Dyaus Pita "father sky".

Estonian Tharapita bears similarity to Dyaus Pita in name, although it has been interpreted as being related to the god Thor.

Dyēus himself appears in the Vedas as Dyaus Pita, a relatively minor deity who, interestingly, is the father of Indra.

Thus the Indo-European father-god appears under various names: Zeus, Jupiter, Dyaus Pita.

While Prthivi survives as a Hindu goddess after the end of the Vedic period, Dyaus Pita became almost unknown already in antiquity.

"Chengli" refers to the Turkic Tengri, the highest deity of the steppe tribes, similar to Dyaus Pita.

The story is also analogus to the war between the serpent Vritra and the god Indra, son of the 'Sky Father' Dyaus Pita.

"Sky Father" is a direct translation of the Vedic Dyaus Pita, etymologically identical to the Greek "Zeus Pater".

Most prehistoric civilizations venerated a dual principle, Sky Father and Earth Mother, which appears to be borrowed from the concept of Prithivi and Dyaus Pita.

The Indo-European deity is the god from which the names and partially the theology of Jupiter, Zeus and the Indo-Aryan Vedic Dyaus Pita derive or have developed.

In the early Vedic pantheon, Dyaus Pita "Sky Father" appears already in a very marginal position, but in comparative mythology is often reconstructed as having stood alongside Prithvi Mata "Earth Mother" in prehistoric times.
