Ida In Hindu mythology, goddess of speech and, in some texts, the earth. In the Rig-Veda, an ancient collection of hymns to the gods, she is primarily food, refreshment, or a libation of milk. One myth says she sprang up when the first man performed a sacrifice to obtain children. The two were then married and had children.
