The Rig Veda introduces Agni as the first principle, envisioned by Viswamitra Madhuchhanda Rishi using the Gayatri meter. This mantra emphasizes Agni’s roles as priest, deity, and initiator of Yajna, embodying five principles due to his unity. Revered by ancient sages, Agni remains significant in Madhuchhanda Rishi’s time, capable of invoking other deities like Bayu and Indra. The philosophy underlying this worship suggests equality among all deities, highlighting the divine nature of elements like fire and air. The mantra plea acknowledges Agni’s universal fatherhood and wealth creation, welcoming him as easily accessible as a father to a son.
