Adityas generally considered as 12 in number are sons of Aditi and Kashyapa Prajapati.
In the Vedic corpus, Aditi is equated to Moola Prakriti, the primordial nature from which the whole universe evolved.
Being her sons, the Adityas stand for the primordial forces of nature.
As their father, the role of Kashyapa was to bring the Adityas into existence out of Aditi.
There are different versions about the number and names of Adityas across Vedas, Puranas, and other scriptures.
They should be looked upon as complementing each other.
In some cases, several functions are kept together under one name.
In some cases, synonyms have been used.
Four goals of life as per Hinduism are - 1. To live righteously. 2. To earn by fair means so that you can take care of the needs of those who depend on you. 3. To work towards achieving desires that do not harm others and yourself. 4. To attain liberation from the cycle of rebirths. These are called the 4 Purushathas.
The ten subjects of Srimad Bhagavata are: 1. Sarga- primary creation. 2. Visarga- secondary creation. 3. Sthana - placement of beings in the various Lokas. 4. Poshana- their sustenance. 5.
