A wonderful light emanated from this child. And he also radiated warmth, like a fiery ember.
Once Svarog, the god of the Slavs, decided to see how people live in the earthly world, for whom he is a heavenly father. And in order to see everything that is in the world of people deprived of light, Svarog took his son to earth with him. The people whom the son of Svarog met saw his light and felt the warmth emanating from him, were amazed at such a miracle and mentally pulled their hands to the son of Svarog with the words: Give, God! Therefore, he gave his son the name Dazhdbog. Svarog saw that people on earth suffer without sunlight and heat. Then he decided that his son would bring them to earth. It was a great gift from Svarog to all people.
Despite the peaceful functions of Dazhdbog, he was known as one of the most skillful warriors of Iriy. Not a single battle was complete without him, but he most often used a shield to repel evil. The ancient Slavs portrayed Dazhdbog as a warrior in crimson-gold armor, armed with a spear and shield. He was portrayed as a middle-aged man of strong build with sky-colored eyes and blond hair. On a chariot drawn by horses with golden manes. Ducks with swans always flew in front of the chariot, as a symbol of morning dawn and evening sunset. People believed that bright light was the reflection of the sun reflected from the armor and shield of the summer god.
