Stella Kramrisch also believes Aditi to be a form of the
Great Goddess. She says:
46 She is comprehensive because, as her name reveals, she is
boundless. More even than that she is anything, she altogether
is. In that boundless fulness, she is the Mother. 'In the
highest heaven, non-being and being are in the lap of Miti'
(RV X.5.7). Non-being and being, the abyss and life, lie
side by side in her transcendental womb. Being unbounded,
having no limits, who can discern them 7 When born, only
Aditi knows their identity as she knows her own, for 'Aditi
is the sky, Aditi is the air, Aditi is the mother, the father,
the son, all the gods, all the fire kinds of beings, Aditi
is what is born and what will be born' (1.89.10).
