Educational Q&A
All beings and the entire cosmos—animate and inanimate—are presented as emanating from the Supreme Lord; even Agni (Fire), a major Vedic deity, is affirmed as deriving from that one source, emphasizing divine sovereignty and the unity of creation.
Vasiṣṭha addresses a revered Lord and, in a tone of theological affirmation, declares that the whole world is the Lord’s progeny; he then specifically cites Agni (Vibhāvasu) as an example, reinforcing the Lord’s status as the ultimate origin.
