Ribhus are depicted in some legends of the Vedic literature as three sons of the goddess of morning light named Saranyu and Hindu god Indra. In other legends, such as in the Atharvaveda, they are sons of Sudhanvan, which means good archer.
Their individual names are Ribhus, Vaja, and Vibhavana. Ribhus is their leader and that is why they are called the Ribhus.
Their name's meaning is "clever, skillful, inventive, prudent"
In either legends, they are famous for their creative abilities, innovation and they design chariots, the magic cow of plenty, channels for rivers, and tools for Indra and other gods, which makes many envious.
In later Hindu mythology, the Ribhus are born in human form who then bring their innovation to earth, remain humble and kind. This makes some gods angry and the Ribhus are refused entry back to heaven. Other gods intervene and make the inventive Ribhus immortal. They are revered in ancient Hindu texts as sages, as stars, or rays of the sun.
Hey, the three brothers are still with us on this planet as one of us. They have been continuously making innovation happen. They will create innovation over and over, to sustain lives on the Earth.
リブ(Rbhu)とは、ヴェーダ文書に描かれたインド神話に登場する三兄弟の匠工の神である。彼らは一説によると、雷神インドラと朝日の女神サランユの息子たちであるが、アタルヴァ・ヴェーダやその他の文書によると、彼らの父はスヴァンダン(優れた射手の意)である。リーダー格であるリブクシャン(Rbhuksan)、ヴァージャ(Vaja)、ヴィヴヴァン(Vibhuvan)からなる。
彼らの名前は「叡智、卓越、独創的、賢明」を意味する。
どちらにしろ、彼らはその創造性、イノーベーション、卓越した名工として名を成し、戦車をデザインし、数え切れない程の魔法の牛、河のチャンネル、インドラの武器など、他の神々にその作品を提供した。その功績は、多くの神々を羨望させた。
