[[Agni (अग्निः)|Agni]] (Samskrit: अग्निः) is the devata for fire, [[Yajna (यज्ञः)|yajnas]] and divine knowledge. A large number of mantras and suktas are devoted to describing and praising Agni in various texts. Kindling of Agni, which generically refers to lighting of fire, is one of the important aspects in all वैदिकयज्ञः ([[Shrauta Yajnas (श्रौतयज्ञाः)|Shrauta Yajnas]] or rituals prescribed in [[Vedas (वेदाः)|Vedas]]) and गह्ययज्ञः (Grhyayajnas, homas in domestic affairs such as that in [[Samskaras (संस्काराः)|samskaras]]). Agni carries the ahutis (oblations) of men to the devatas in heavenly worlds, who thereby pleased ensure the continuance of conditions favorable to mankind.
