Question

write down twenty hymns from the rig veda​

Answer 1

The hymns were integral to a ritual called . The precise chanting was seen as ‘chariot-making’ and the ritual was a ‘chariot’ that allowed one to connect the realm of humans (adyatman) with the realm of gods (adhidaiva) so that one can release and identify the wisdom-cows hidden in the ignorance-cave.

We find this in the very first verse (richa) of the Rig Veda, which is addressed to the firegod. He is identified as the god and priest of the ritual, placed in the fore, bearer and giver of great wealth, who is praised by ancient and new priests, through whom the gods receive the offerings of the worshipper and who brings the gods to the worshipper, and through whom one obtains great treasures, jewels, wealth and prosperity. He is identified as the one who illuminates the night, as well as the one who brightens the mind with insight. He is the herdsmen of things as they are (rita). The worshipper hopes Agni will be as easily accessible as ‘father to son’ and be a companion for well-being.
