Agni阿格尼（印度神话中的火神）

Augenstern

Agni, (Sanskrit: “Fire”) fire-god of Hinduism, second only to Indra in the Vedic mythology of ancient India. He is equally the fire of the sun, of lightning, and of both the domestic and the sacrificial hearth. As the divine personification of the fire of sacrifice, he is the mouth of the gods, the carrier of the oblation, and the messenger between the human and the divine orders. Agni is described in the scriptures as ruddy-hued and having two faces—one beneficent and one malignant. He has three or seven tongues, hair that stands on end like flames, three legs, and seven arms; he is accompanied by a ram, the usual sacrificial animal. In the Rigveda he is sometimes identified with Rudra, the forerunner of the god Shiva. Though Agni has no sect in modern Hinduism, his presence is invoked in many ceremonies, especially by Agnihotri Brahmans (who perform fire rites), and he is the guardian of the southeast.

阿格尼，(梵语:火)印度教的火神，在古印度吠陀神话中仅次于因陀罗。他同样是太阳之火，闪电之火，家庭之火和祭祀之火。作为祭祀之火的神圣化身，他是众神的口，是祭品的载体，是人类与神的命令之间的使者。烈火在圣经中被描述为红润的，有两张脸——一张善的，一张恶的。他有三七条舌头，头发像火焰一样直立着，三条腿和七条胳膊;陪伴他的是一只公羊，通常是祭祀的动物。在梨俱吠陀中，他有时被认为是路陀罗，湿婆神的先驱。虽然烈火在现代印度教中没有宗派，但他的存在在许多仪式中被引用，特别是在Agnihotri婆罗门(执行火的仪式)，他是东南的守护者。

        In the Rig Veda, there are about 200 hymns that address Lord Agni.In some ancient Indian texts, he is seen as the guardian of the southeast. As a result, his statues and shrines are usually found in the southeast corners of the many Hindu temples.

Agni is the Hindu god of fire. He is regarded as the friend and protector of humanity, in particular, he safeguards the home. Various forms of fire are associated with Agni and include the sun, lightning, comets, sacrificial fire, domestic fires, the fire of the funeral pyre, and the digestive fire which is within all humans. Agni was especially important in the Vedic period (1500-500 BCE), and the Vedas contains more hymns to him than to any other deity. He is still considered today omnipresent though not directly worshipped.
