Dazbog
Also Dajbog, Dabog, Dazhbog, Dazsbog, Cyrillic Дажбог; from dazh, the Slavic epithet for Sun (The Giver) and bog (god).
In Slavic mythology, Dazbog is the sun god. He lives in the Palace of the East, the land of eternal summer and plenty. Each morning he emerged from the arms of The Zorya to ride his chariot drawn by three horses: one is gold, one is silver, and one is diamond. In Russian lore, he is said to begin the day as an infant and die an old man at the end of the daylight. He is the son of Svarog.
