1 The Son of the sacrifice is a constant image in the Veda. Here it is the godhead
himself, Agni who gives himself as a son to man, a Son who delivers his father. Agni is
also the War-Horse and the steed of the journey, the White Horse, the mystic galloping
Dadhikravan who carries us through the battle to the goal of our voyaging.
