Eight Vasus appealing to River Goddess Ganga – High Quality Print of Artwork by Pieter Weltevrede

Vasus are the elemental Gods in Hinduism. The Vasus are eight in number and represent the eight elements of nature – Prithvi (earth), Agni (fire), Vayu (Wind), Antariksha (space), Aditya (Sun), Dyaus (Sky), Chandrama (Moon), Nakstrani (Stars). They are the divine personification of eight elements. Once they stole the divine cow, Kamadhenu, from Sage Vashistha and were to born on earth as mortals. All Vasus appeal to Goddess Ganga to pacify their curse and make their stay on earth short. Goddess Ganga incarnated on earth as their mother and drowned seven of them after their birth in her own waters except for the last one who had stolen the cow. The last son was Bhishma, the grandsire of Pandavas and Kauravas in Mahabharata.
