He is one of the most prominent deities of the Rigveda. lle, as an immortal, has taken up his a bodle among mortals as their guest; he is tho domestie priest, the successful accomplisher and protector of all ceremonies; he is also the religious leader and preceptor of the gods, a swift messenger employed to announce to the immortals the hymns and to convey to them the oblations of their worshippers, and to bring them down from the sky to the place of sacrifice. He is sometimes regarded as the
mouth and the tongue through which both gods and men participate in the sacrifices. He is the lord, protector and lender of people, monarch of men, tho lord of the house, friendly to mankind, and like a father, mother, brother &c. lle is represented as being produced by the attrition of two pieces of fuel which are regarded as husband and wife. Sometimes he is considered to have been brought down from hea ven or generated by Indra between two clouds or stones, created by Dyou, or fashioned by the gods collectively. In some passages he is represented as having a triple existence, which may mean his threefold manifestations as the sun in heaven, lightning in the atmosphere, and as ordinary fire on the earth, although the three appearances are also elsewhere otherwise explained. llis cpithets are numberless and for the most part descriptive of his physical characteristics : ne, 394, Tal, trigata, ft , तोमरधर, घृतान्न, चित्रभानु, ऊर्ध्वशोचिस्, शोचिष्केश, हरिकेश, farouca, ty &c. In a celebrated passage he is said to have 4 homs, 8 feet, 2 heads, and 7 hands. The highest divine functions are ascribed to Agni. He is said to have spread out the two worlds and produced them, to have supported heaven, formed the mundane regions and luninaries of heaven, to have begotten Mitra and caused the sun to ascend the sky.
Io is the head and summit of the sky, the centre of the earth. Earth, leaven and all beings obey his commands. Ile knows and sees all worlds or creatures and witnesses all their actions. The worshippers of Agni prosper, they are wealthy and live long. He is the protector of that man who takes care to bring him fuel. lle gives him riches and no one can overcome him who sacrifices to this god. Ile confers, and is the guardian of, imnortality. He is like a water-trough in a desert and all blessings issue from him. He is therefore constantly supplicated for all kinds of boons, riches, food, deliverance from cnemies and demons, poverty, reproach, childlessness, hunger le. Agni is slso associated with Indra in different hymns and the two gods are said to be twin brothers.
Such is the Vedic conception of Agni; but in the course of mythological personifications ho appears an the eldest son of Brahma and is called Abhimani [Visnu Purana J. His wife was Svāhā; by her, he had 3 sons - Pāvaka, Pavamana and Suchi: and these had forty-five sons : altogether 49 persons who are considered identical with the 19 fires, lle is also represented as a son of Angiras, as a king of the Pitrs or Manes, as a Marut and as a grandson of Sandila, and also as a star. The Hariyamsa describes him as clothed in black, having smoke for his standard and head-piece and carrying a flaming a velin. He is borne in a chariot drawn by red horses and the 7 winds are the
