Page 12 - Agni in the Veda
P. 12
The Veda speaks of this divine Flame in a series of
splendid and opulent images. He is. . .
• the rapturous priest of the sacrifice,
• the God-Will intoxicated with its own delight,
• the young sage,
• the sleepless envoy,
• the ever-wakeful flame in the house,
• the master of our gated dwelling-place,
• the beloved guest,
• the lord in the creature,
• the seer of the flaming tresses,
• the divine child,
• the pure and virgin God,
• the invincible warrior,
