The Twenty-Seventh Hymn to Agni
A HYMN OF THE STRENGTH AND ILLUMINATION
[The Rishi under the figure of the demigod, Traivrishna Tryaruna
Trasadasyu, and the seer Ashwamedha, symbolises the fulfilment
in the human mentality of the illumination of the God-Mind
Indra, and the power of the God-Will, Agni, in the vitality. The
Mind-Soul, destroyer of the demons, awakened to knowledge as
the human-born Indra, has given to the seer his two cows of light
that draw his wain, his two shining horses that draw his chariot
and the ten times twelve cows of the dawn of knowledge. He has
assented to and confirmed the desire with which the Life-Soul
has given the sacrifice of the Life-Horse to the gods. The Rishi
prays that this Mind-Soul, lord of the triple dawn, may give to
the journeying Life that seeks the truth, the mental intelligence
and power of possession needed and may itself in return receive
from Agni the peace and bliss. The Life-Soul on the other hand
has given the hundred powers, the vital strength needed for the
upward journey; the Rishi prays that this Life-Soul may attain
to that vast strength which is the power of the Sun of Truth on
the superconscient plane.]
