I think that Aditi should be listed as the mother of Daksha, as that is what is stated in the Vedas. It is reliably sourced, and is the oldest version of the myth. In fact, all orthodox schools of Hinduism consider the Vedas to be an authoritative source, and thus it is notable enough to be placed in the infobox.[[User:Chariotrider555|Chariotrider555]] ([[User talk:Chariotrider555|talk]]) 17:40, 2 November 2020 (UTC)

Hello Chariotrider555,
Can you please quote authentic source regarding your claim?
According to ancient Hindu texts On the parents of Daksha, he is considered to be Manas-Putra of Lord Brahma, that is, born by Brahma's mind and is not born through natural process of birth i.e. through womb of a mother, so he doesn't have any mother. However, Goddess Saraswati is consort of Lord Brahma, so by that relation she can be called his mother, but not natural mother.
On the other hand, Aditi is daughter of Daksha, not his mother. Aditi was married to Sage Kashyap (He is the son of Sage Marichi another mindborn son of Lord Brahma like Daksha) and is considered to be mother of all devtas(Gods).
Hope it helps you.
