In Vedic mythology, Parjanya was the son of the sky god Dyaus. He was the god of rain-clouds and drove a cart across the sky, laden with bags and buckets of rain which he poured out on the Earth below. Because he sent rain to fertilize the ground, he also oversaw the fertility of animals (especially horses and cattle) and of human beings. Research Parjanya
