Divine horsemen Nasatya and Dasra. The twin sons of the sun and Saranyu who make a path through the clouds for Ushas and scatter the morning dew with their whips.

They are also the doctors of the Gods. Ok maybe thats a little simplistic. They're actually Gods of Ayurvedic medicine which is the science of life and they can cure the lame, heal the blind, rejuvinate the aged and stop the Rishis from drowning in a sea of ignorance. While i'm not convinced you need to be a doctor to perform the latter, a sound medical background will always help.

But they do like to let their hair down when they're not being friends to the unfortunate or preparing the tack for warrior Gods, and double as Gods of enjoyment and fun.

Having spotted Sukanya bathing naked they tried to talk her into leaving her aged husband and marrying one of them. They thought the best way to win her over was to make Syvana youthful again then ask her to take her pick of the three.
As young strapping God hunks they really thought they were onto a winner, but given the choice she chose her husband.
Oh well, you can't win them all.
