What Am I

I am a mythological being.
I did not obtain any distinction during the Vedic period.
Benevolence is my trait.
A supernatural being is my faith.
What Am I?

Juxtaposed I stand.
I must maintain my realm.
I am often warring to my counterparts that are equally powerful.
We are ordain by our God.
What Am I?

This is the last clue.
I am celestial as the day-lit sky.
To you, I am a female deity that is the essential nature of a god.
I am from PIE.
What Am I?

One more theme is that I can represent the forces of nature and I can represent moral values as well.
Never both I am.
I have enumerated thirty-three forms.
That is all.
What Am I?

So it appears my original guess was in fact accurate as "Diva" refers to a goddess but is not a specific goddess.

Absolutely great piece of work. I really enjoyed it. To answer your question of "What Am I," my answer is Deva, also know as Suras in Hinduism.

Greetings! Daniel Bolden you are correct. I am A Deva. :)s and hugs... I really thought it would take longer to get. However, you have answered correctly. Verlena

You got me. I'm not much of a scholar in mythology. But I see you have Richard guessing. I await the answer. Good job getting P. D's contest going. Peace. :)

Would it be Parvati? She was Goddess of power, creation and victory over good and evil.
