The article says that the name is used in plural, rather than dual which certain sources infer. I have not (yet) checked any of the Vedic or post-Vedic hymns. This is what two dictionaries have to say:
Apte’s The practical Sanskrit-English dictionary mentions: «उषस्f. [...] -3 The deity that presides over the morning and evening twilights (used in dual); उषसौ or उषासौ.»
Monier-Williams’ Sanskrit-English dictionary mentions: «Ushás,ás, f. (nom. pl. ushā́sas and ushásas ; instr. pl. ushádbhis [...]) morning light, dawn, morning (personified as the daughter of heaven and sister of the Ādityas and the night) [...]; (ushā́sau, ˚ā́sā, and ˚ásā), f. du. night and morning»

Early in the article, someone marked the philological relation between Ēostre (old goddess) and Easter (springtime Christian celebration of the resurrection). The doubter left no "|reason=" in the template, and no discussion on this talk page. I removed it, since the Venerable Bede directly stated the connection between the two names.
The text leading up to the "dubious" template, now removed, is appended below:
... English goddess [[Ēostre]] (OE: ēastre), whose name is probably the root of the modern English word "[[Easter]]."<ref>{{cite book |last1=Mallory |first1=J.P. |last2=Adams |first2=D.Q. |title=The Oxford Introduction to Proto-Indo-European and the Proto-Indo-European World |year=2006 |publisher=Oxford University Press |location=Oxford, UK |isbn=978-0-19-929668-2 |page=432}}</ref>{{dubious|date=April 2020}}
