Agni (Hindu deity) Rigveda |
| Notes | Agni is the most important God in the Vedic hymns. Agni is not a mere physical fire. He is the lord of Divine Will. Agni is a cosmic force with the qualities of light (or knowledge) and power in perfect harmony. He is the Divine Will who impels human beings to begin all the necessary activities. The first hymn of Rig Veda is addressed to Agni. This book contains the text, transliteration, translation and commentary of all the 315 mantras in the first 34 Suktas dedicated to Agni in the first Mandala and in the 2 other Suktas of the First Mandala of Rig Veda. The translation is based on the Sanskrit commentary of T. V. Kapali Sastry entitled, 'Siddhanjana' and also Sri Aurobindo's insights contained in his two books, The Secret of the Veda and Hymns to the Mystic Fire. |
