Origin & history
Coinage of Kushan ruler Huvishka with, on the reverse, the divine couple Ommo ("ΟΜΜΟ", Umā) holding a flower, and Oesho ("ΟΗϷΟ", Shiva ) with four arms holding attributes. c. 150 -180 CE. The word Parvati does not explicitly appear in Vedic literature . Instead, Ambika, Rudrani and others are found in the Rigveda . The verse 3.12 of the Kena Upanishad dated to mid-1st millennium BCE contains a goddess called Uma-Haimavati, a very common alternate name for Parvati. Sayana's commentary in Anuvaka , however, identifies Parvati in the Kena Upanishad , suggesting her to be the same as Uma and Ambik
