→ヒッタイト語録
マリヤの崇拝はヒッタイトの支配下のアナトリアでも続き<ref>Frantz-Szabó, 1987, p304</ref>、ヒッタイトの様々な資料でよく証明されている<ref>Payne, 2019, p242</ref>。ヒッタイトの伝統では、彼女は水、特に川と関連していた<ref>Rutherford, 2020, p331</ref>。目録（KUB 38.33；裏面5行目）には、マリヤの鉄製像が記載されており、女性の河の神と説明されている<ref>Taracha, 2009, p115</ref>。また、マリヤは'''庭の女神'''としても機能していた<ref>Haas, 2015, p410</ref>。"庭園のマリヤ "は、テキストKUB 42.23に記載されており、彼女を "ワインと穀物の母 "と述べている<ref>Taracha, 2009, p115-116</ref>。この女神の位格は、植生神テリピヌと一緒に供物を受け取っていた<ref>Schwemer, 2022, p376</ref>。植物の成長を司る女神として、イナラや川の女神シャヒリヤ（Šaḫiriya）と一緒に呼び出されることもあった<ref>Haas, 2015, p479</ref>。トゥドハリヤ4世（在位：紀元前1240年頃 - 紀元前1215年頃）の治世の供物リストには、マリヤという山の神が記載されており、おそらく他のヒッタイト文書で知られているマリマリヤ（Malimaliya）と同定されるであろう<ref>Haas, 2015, pp410-411</ref>。しかし、後者は男性の神である<ref>Haas, 2015, p496</ref>。トルコのトカトの北東にあるマムダーという山がそれにあたるかもしれない<ref>Frantz-Szabó, 1987, p305</ref>。また、マリヤが革職人と関係があったという証拠もある<ref>Steitler, 2019, p131</ref>。ハットゥサのアシュサ門の近くにある小川には、彼女を慕う皮革職人やなめし革職人のコミュニティがあった<ref>Taracha, 2009, p132</ref>。IBoT3.1には、高位の革職人が王家の夫婦の前で行われたマリヤの酒宴の際に、香水を入れるための容器（talla/-）を献上したことが記されている<ref>Steitler, 2019, pp131-132</ref>。また、マリヤと大工の関係も記録されている<ref>Rutherford, 2020, p331</ref>。 「大工のマリヤ」は、サッルンタッシという町の神の一柱であった<ref>Cammarosano, 2015, p216</ref>。
ヒッタイトの宗教では、マリヤは伝統的にカネシュの都市と関係があり、ネシテ語（ヒッタイト語）で歌う「カネシュの歌い手」がマリヤに捧げる数々の儀式に関与していた<ref>Taracha, 2009, p30</ref>。
In Hittite religion Maliya was traditionally associated with the city of Kanesh, and a "singer of Kanesh", who sung in the "Nesite" (Hittite) language was involved in a number of ceremonies dedicated to her.{{sfn|Taracha|2009|p=30}} It is assumed that the Kaneshite deities formed the oldest stratum of [[Hittite religion]],{{sfn|Barsacchi|2016|p=9}} but it is possible that the later group of "gods of Kanesh" in rituals was a conglomerate of deities originally belonging to various traditions and that as a whole it did not necessarily reflect the composition of the earliest Hittite pantheon.{{sfn|Archi|2010|p=32}} In the oldest sources from [[Hattusa]], Maliya's [[Cult (religious practice)|cult]] seemingly had a domestic character, but she also appears in the context of royal rituals after the rise of the Hittite Empire.{{sfn|Taracha|2009|p=115}} She is mentioned for example in a text pertaining to a festival meant to secure good fortune for the house of a ruler and to guarantee him an heir{{sfn|Taracha|2009|p=51}} and a prayer in which she is invoked alongside the [[Weather god of Nerik]] to help suffering petitioners.{{sfn|Haas|2015|p=607}} During the reign of Tudḫaliya IV the central location associated with her, as well as with the other deities of Kanesh, was the so-called "Great Temple" in this city.{{sfn|Taracha|2009|p=133}} Deities from this group, including Maliya, as well as [[Pirwa]] and [[Askašepa]], were also worshiped in Ištanuwa.{{sfn|Taracha|2009|pp=116-117}} A different group, consisting of Maliya, a local storm god and <sup>[[dingir|d]]</sup>[[Ugur (god)|U.GUR]] (in this context possibly a logograpic spelling of the name of [[Zilipuri]], a [[Hattians|Hattian]] [[chthonic]] god from the circle of [[Lelwani]], or less plausibly the [[Mesopotamian god]] [[Nergal]]) was seemingly worshiped in Ḫulaša.{{sfn|Barsacchi|2016|p=10}} The existence of a city named after Maliya in Hittite times, while suggested in older literature, is now considered unproven.{{sfn|Barsacchi|2016|p=9}}
Maliya was commonly associated with Kamrušepa, the goddess of magic and midwifery.{{sfn|Taracha|2009|p=115}} In a narrative introduction to a healing formula, Maliya is one of the deities who make sure the information about the patient's state reaches Kamrušepa.{{sfn|Haas|2015|p=412}} In other Hittite sources, Maliya is accompanied by helpers known as Maliyanni, whose name is the plural of a diminutive form of her own name, Maliyanna, "little Maliya".{{sfn|Serangeli|2015|p=379}} According to [[Volkert Haas]], similarly to other groups of deities whose names were constructed analogously, such as Ninattanni ([[Ninatta and Kulitta]]) or [[Šarruma]]nni, they should be considered a group of two.{{sfn|Haas|2015|p=313}} Piotr Taracha assumes that they were hypostases of Maliya herself.{{sfn|Taracha|2009|p=116}} In one case, they appear in a ritual meant to secure the prosperity of a [[vineyard]].{{sfn|Taracha|2009|p=116}} Comparisons have been made between them and later Greek [[nymph]]s.{{sfn|Frantz-Szabó|1987|p=305}}{{sfn|Steitler|2019|p=132}} Another group of deities associated with Maliya were the "male gods of Maliya" (<sup>d</sup>maliyaš DINGIR.LÚ<sup>MEŠ</sup>), presumed to be minor deities comparable to the concept of ''[[genius loci]]'' linked to specific natural features, for example rivers and springs, and possibly patterned on [[Hurrian religion|Hurrian]] traditions which reached the Hittite Empire through [[Kizzuwatna]].{{sfn|Barsacchi|2016|p=9}}
