Beyond her maternal and productive attributes, Prithvi (often alongside Dyaus) is revered for her steadfast support. She is described as firm, upholding all that exists (1.185), encompassing everything (6.70), and as broad and vast (1.185). While she is generally characterized as immovable (1.185), other verses describe her as capable of free movement (5.84). Prithvi and Dyaus are also frequently invoked for wealth, prosperity, and strength (6.70). The rains they produce are praised for their richness, fullness, and fertility (1.22), and they are often called upon for protection from harm, forgiveness of sins (1.185), and to bring joy (10.63). Together, Prithvi and Dyaus represent a vast, stable domain of abundance and safety, a realm governed by the cosmic order (ṛta), which they nurture and sustain (1.159). They are seen as inexhaustible and full of potential life (6.70).
