In Manipuri mythology and religion, Atingkok Maru Sidaba (Meitei: ꯑꯇꯤꯡꯀꯣꯛ ꯃꯔꯨ ꯁꯤꯗꯕ) or Soraren (Meitei: ꯁꯣꯔꯥꯔꯦꯟ) or Salailen Sidaba (Meitei: ꯁꯂꯥꯏꯂꯦꯟ ꯁꯤꯗꯕ) is the highest deity, the creator of the Universe and the Sky God.[1][2][3]
He is the father and creator of the deities Lainingthou Sanamahi, Nongshaba and Pakhangba. He is the consort of Leimarel Sidabi, the highest goddess in Sanamahism.[4][5]
Symbol
Lord Atingkok is symbolised with the Meitei numeral "꯱" (Ama), meaning "1" (One), which represents the ether or space.
Legend
In most legends, Atingkok produces Leimarel Sidabi from his own self to be his consort and create Lord Lainingthou Sanamahi from a magical pot, within three days after which he with the union of his goddess, gave birth to Pakhangba.[6][7][8][9]
However, in another legend, Atingkok produces a form of himself named Salailen Sidabi (Soraren), to be the sky god and goddess Leimarel Sidabi, the earth goddess to be the divine pair to produce gods, after whose union gave birth to Pakhangba. For Lainingthou Sanamahi, he is born from the magical pot in both legends.[10][11][12][13]
