In the first age of the gods, existence was born from non-existence.
The quarters of the sky were born from Her who crouched with legs spread.
The earth was born from Her who crouched with legs spread,
And from the earth the quarters of the sky were born.
Rig Veda, 10.72.3-4
 



aditirdyaur aditirantarikSHam aditirmAtA sa pitA sa putraH |
viΕ›ve devA aditiH paNca janA aditirjAtam aditirjanitvam ||

Aditi is the sky
Aditi is the air
Aditi is all the gods...
Aditi is the Mother, the Father, and Son
Aditi is whatever shall be born.
Knowledge is Aditi, knowledge is knowing Aditi.
(Rg Veda, I.89.10)
