in the texts
Atharvaveda (Paippalāda)
Goddess associated with the new moon and fertility, invoked to lead cattle and to advance in battle.
Sinīvālī and Anumati, bearing swift horses, quiver-bearing — conquering, they advance against the enemies together with Indra the ally.
may Sinīvālī lead them at their head, and may Anumati settle those that have returned.
Both Sinīvālī who assigns destinies and the seven who are worthy of hearing — may all beings smite Arātī as they smite a slave-woman who has transgressed.
Rigveda
Goddess of the household and fertility.
O Sinīvāli of broad braids, you who are the sister of the gods — accept the oblation that has been offered;
She who has beautiful arms, beautiful fingers, who is kind, mother of many — for her, for the lady of the house, for Sinīvāli, offer the oblation.
She who is Guṅgū, she who is Sinīvāli, she who is Rākā, she who is Sarasvatī — I call upon Indrāṇī for help, and Varuṇānī for well-being.
