FAQs

Vedic rites are living encounters with the divine; Agni is not symbolic alone but a sacred presence upheld by dharma.

This instruction prepares the sanctification of Vahnitīrtha in the Nāgarakhaṇḍa narrative.

Agni is enjoined to be ‘pratyakṣa’ (manifest) in the agnihotra performed by brāhmaṇas.
