Ashvins

Twin deities named Satya and Dasya,
who are sons of the god Surya (the Sun)
and the physicians to the gods. In the
Mahabharata, the later of the two great
Hindu epics, the Ashvins are the divine
fathers of the Pandava twins, Nakula
and Sahadeva. Nakula and Sahadeva are
born when their mother, Madri, uses a
powerful mantra enabling a woman to
have a child by any one of the gods;
as the sons of the divine physicians,
the epic portrays these twins as having
their fathers’ ability to heal. In the
Hindu lunar calendar, the month of
Ashvin (October–November) is devoted
to them.
