My Interpretations

Rigveda 2.2 invokes Agni, the deity of sacrifice, and through the acts of sacrifice, it seeks to invoke the all-pervading Brahman, the universal principle or essence. It also invokes Vishnu, who is described as all-pervading, and the Puruhuta, which can be interpreted as the Supreme Being or the one who is invoked. The hymn acknowledges the presence and significance of these divine entities in the ritual of Agnistoma.

The hymn in Rigveda 2.2 invokes Agni and through Agni, it acknowledges the presence and significance of three entities: Brahman, Vishnu, and Puruhuta. The term “Brahman” in this context refers to the all-pervading universal principle or essence. Vishnu is described as all-pervading, indicating his cosmic presence. Puruhuta, which can be interpreted as the Supreme Being or the one who is invoked, represents the deity invoked through the ritual of Agnistoma. So, while the hymn acknowledges these three entities, it is important to note that the understanding and interpretation of these terms can vary within different philosophical and theological traditions.

While my quest for search for Lord Shiva and Trimootri (Parameshwara, Bramha and Vishnu) continues in Rigveda 2.2.
