nyi ma

In the Vedas, the name originally meant "child of Aditi" so that in some texts it refers to a group of deities. However, in the Kāraṇḍavyūha it has the later meaning of being synonymous with Surya, the deity of the sun. It was translated into Tibetan simply as the common word for sun.

The god of the sun; the sun personified.
