The name and nicknames of the god refer to notions closely connected with fire, heat, fire and candles - eternally burning in honor of the gods with earthly fire and sacrificial fire. The name Fire indicates Who Causes Fire, and also comes, or follows the Fire - Swarog. Swarog is the god of the Heavenly Fire, Swara is the goddess of the Heavenly Heat-Square, and Swarożyc is the god of the Earthly Fire, Lord of the Sun, Carrier of the Golden Shield, Lord of the Months and Lord of the Sacrificial Fire. His Istinian counterpart is Paniks or Jagaubis.

"Yes, only one son of Swarog and Daba survived, the golden Swarozyc. After forty days of Daboga's stay in Nawiach, brightness returned to Earth, and Swarożyc was so hot that he coped perfectly with the Waters. The pheasant, seeing his wife happy, gave up divination. The Golden Swarożyc defeated the Waters and shone so great that the Majbóg accepted him to his family and court. Swarog, in order to satisfy the Dabie, picked up the Mirror-The Shield of Perperona, divided it in half and gave the Golden Shield to Swarożyc, while the Blue Mirror gave to Dabodze. Perperuna, in order to atone forgive Daboga, gave her all the bright dresses of Silesia from the School. Swarog forged with his hammer the Vault of Heaven together with Dażbóg and so the Low Heavens were created above the Earth. The Poor became the Lady of Light, the Lord of Light Heaven, the goddess of the Day. She laid the Vault with her Mirror and every time she comes above the ground, she dresses herself in her red, pink, blue, white and golden dresses and looks at herself in it. And with her she walks along the Heavenly Vault of Swarożyc with her Golden Sun Shield.

"The micahs from the angle of the Dażboga, which overlaps in the town of Milsko in the land of the small tribe of Milczan, which belongs to a large tribe of Sorbs, give a different version of the events. According to them, it was Dażbóg who found Daba himself. He was so enraged when he found out about his wife's rape that he fought with Swarog and the luminous hammer pulled him out of his hands. Swarog did not keep his field in battle and ran away hiding in the Deep. He too was to take away the hot air and south wind from the Strzybógs and give them back to the Weather without asking anyone for permission, as the Strzybogs were also involved in a conspiracy against the Oak. He himself found a chamber in the manor house of Velesa and killed on the way the guarded gates of the Welesfires - the Single-headed, Double-headed and Three-headed. Later, he overthrew the walls of the manor house with a hammer, before he bursting the belly of the Daboga and devoured all the sons of Swarogowy, who were in her doubts. However, she hid one of them under her tongue, and that was Swarozyc. The pheasant ran then to take revenge on Perunach. He conquered Perperona, beat her and picked up her Mirror-Target. Then the anger passed through him and when he saw Daboga with the golden Swarożyc wandering along the Heavenly Way, he fell in love with the boy. Then he was to split the mirror-shield and one side, the Mirror, to give an apology to his wife, and the other side, the Shield, to Swarożyc, whom he accepted into his court but never accepted into his family. It is true that in the divine Circle, Swarożyc is always shown in the family of Swaroga, among his children.
