fire by Angiras or Agni is the next stage. Agni, a member of Brahma, discovers the science and art of Yajña for the benefit of the Tribal Society. Bṛhaspati is the first Ganapati but he is a very ambitious and expansionist Ganapati and evolves himself to Brahmnaspati. Bṛhaspati is the leader of all the Devas of the Brahma. Bṛhaspati, son of Angiras or Agni, makes the tribal (Yajnic) activity most successful resulting in increased wealth and progeny. Rși never forgets Brahmic progeny, the fruit of the promiscuous sex-relationship, the Animal Dharma, widely prevalent in the tribal society.
A legend of great cultural importance is given in Sukta 7. 3. 9. of Taittirīya Samhita. The legend says that Virāj (Vitality) dividing itself stayed among the
Viraj Legend Devas with the Brahma, among Asuras with Anna. The Devas desired, "May be acquired both the Brahma and the Anna." They indeed acquired both the Brahma and the Anna and became resplendant and eaters of food1. Brahma is used in a sense of possession; the possession of the Devas. The primitive Aryans were cattle-rearing people. Brahma means cattle. The Devas gained their vitality from their cattle (Brahma) who constantly lived (stayed) with them. Cattle (Brahma) was the source of power and strength of the Devas. The vitality of the Asuras came from Anna. The Aryans were pastoralists and the Bhārtīyans were agriculturists. The Brahmāryans after victory adopted a major portion of the cultural traits of their victims. The Brahmaryans borrowed the efficient methods of Bhāratīyan agriculture and took to cereal foods. They were non-vegetarians till at least sixth century B. C. eating the flesh of cow, ox, horse and other animals. The economic avocations and the eating habits of the Aryans and the Bhartiyans are reflected in this legend.
