Amsa, also called Amshuman is a god in Hindu mythology. He is one of the twelve Adityas, so a son of Aditi. Amsa is a minor Aditya. He is always invoked or mentioned along with other Adityas, not alone. He might be a god of sunbeams or represent sunbeams since amsu means beams. He is also the god of due share.
