[Altair]

'' A lion-escorted martial goddess imported from the Near East is depicted … she apparently kept her Sumerian name Nana(ya) for two Millennia as her counterpart worshipped in Kushana times was so called and is still worshipped in Afghanistan even nowadays as ‘Bibi Nanni”. This BMAC culture interacted with the Indus civilization … Vedic texts know Vac as a goddess of War identified with the lioness…''

I read over this. There is also Narasimha (a male lion), an incarnation of Vishnu..
Interesting similarity in language, the ''Na..'' Did India borrow it from Sumer?

Edit: ''Nara'' means man, so maybe forget it then. Similarity could be accidental.
