He is the deity of the customs that rule the various Vedic tribes and people.[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 Mitra-Varuna, 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]
Aryaman is sometimes said to be the presiding deity of the Uttara Phalgunī Nakshatra based on Rg Veda. However, based on other texts, such as the nakshatra-focused Taittiriya Brahmanam, Aryaman presides over Purva Phalgunī.
