Anrita

In Hindu mythology, Anrita is falsehood,[1] son of Adharma (unrighteousness or vice), married to Nikriti (immorality).[2] They had two sons, Bhaya (fear) and Naraka (hell), and twin daughters, Máya (deceit) and Vedanú (torture), who became their brothers' wives.[3]

Anrita is also the name of one of the mystical weapons delivered to Ráma by Viswámitra, as mentioned in the Rámáyana.[3]
