that search, an important discussion between the Panis and Sarme.  Angirasa rushi then helped Indra to locate the Panis who stole the cows.   

The '''Rg Mantra 97.36''' explains how Angirasa assisted Indra.  <blockquote>''“yena naha purve pitaraha padjna svarvido abhigha adrimushnan”'' </blockquote><blockquote>''"In our family and ancestors, the pitris, there is Angirasa who, a sarvajna, knowledgeable about the para loka, brought back the stolen cows which were identified by their foot marks (characteristics) from mountains".''</blockquote>The myth is also found in the JaiminIya BrAhmaNa, II.440-442. Here, the cows are again clearly referred to as the cows of the Gods stolen by the PaNis.  This time, the Gods first send SuparNa, the eagle or the Sun-bird.  However, the PaNis bribe him into silence, and he accepts their gifts and returns without any information.  The enraged Gods strangle him, and he vomits out the curds, etc. received from the PaNis. Then the Gods send SaramA.  She crosses the RasA and approaches the PaNis.  She is also offered bribes, but ( as in the Rigveda) she refuses their blandishments and returns to Indra with the information that the cows are hidden inside the RasA.  She and her descendants are then blessed by a grateful Indra.

In the BRhaddevatA, viii 24-36 the same sequence of events takes place, but this time SaramA accepts the bribe of the PaNis, and apparently transfers her loyalties to them.  When she returns to Indra and refuses to disclose the hideout of the cows, Indra kicks her in a rage.  She vomits out the milk received as a bribe, and then goes back to the PaNis.

Here “go” means the “adhyatma vidya” (spiritual knowledge) that is endorsed in Vedas and the foot marks of cows means actually explaining the meaning of the Vedic words which are esoteric and to decipher them properly. And those who understand this are called padajna or having the knowledge of the Veda and the 4 legs of this Kamadhenu the Vedas are dharma, artha, kama, moksha –these purushardhas. Therefore which mantras provide what purushardha? That Angirasa muni knew. And knowing very well which mantras have the offering highest planet “parama pada”. He was the svar vidaha sarva jna. This is our pitris as the Vedas explained in Rk Samhita1.164.45 :“chatvarivak parmita padani thani viduhi brahmanaha ye manishinaha”

These “paraha”, “pasyanthi”, “madhyama” and “vaiykhari” are the most wonderful speech or Veda vakyas. Those who understand the meaning of these words or “pada” are called padajna” (knower of those speech) or “svarvida” (these four paadas(legs) or padas (the sentences) and to the purushardhas which are called “chatvari-sringa”, these are known as the 4 horns of the “agni purusha” or fire personified and the relationship they have with each other can only be understood by the process of yoga upasana) So what does that mean that Angirasa who is the all knower bringing the cows –which are synonymous to Vedas – from the mountain top. That means those who have common ordinary information like the panis, for them the Vedic knowledge is very high and cannot be assimilated and even if they take it away they do not get any benefit or they will not understand the esoteric meaning. And the “go” or the cows or the Vedic words did not get any damage. Only for some time those who had faith in these cows, they were inconvenienced. The meaning is very clear. Those who do not understand the meaning of Vedas, such people they may disguise and steal the words of Vedas. But they won’t get the benefit of Vedas. They may say Vedas have no meaning or whatever is in Veda is insignificant or useless subject matter, and they might compile based upon such perception. But they do not get any benefit. Those who are faithful to the Vedas, and who lived life only on the meaning of the Vedas which is the milk of that cow, for such people they may be inconvenience by the panis, but the great personalities those who understand the meaning of Vedas like Angirasa, and those who have the knowledge of the sampradaya, the “veda prajnas” they bring down the cows from mountains even with the difficult situation and provide the deeper meaning of Vedas to the qualified people and in this way become the support to the governance of this world, which is managed by Indra. If we see from such perspective, since the time of Rishis, the number of panis have increased. People like, Kumarila Bhatta who would say that Vedas don’t have esoteric understanding, the purva mimasakas, those who consider the grammar is important than the essence. In the name of the Vedas those who study vedas and then criticize the Vedic concept, the researchers and in the name of research, the Christian missionaries, those who follow their path—our own people, the leftists, and those people those who have given up the Sanatana values and spreading the destructive life systems and those who are practicing atheistic concepts (Jain, Buddhas, etc., ), the modern lokayuthas and those who have accepted the transformation of the Vedas in wrong way, these are all Panis. Therefore to protect and to stop from such disturbing elements and thought process, the host of people like like Angirasa, were fighting against them, and their work is significant and therefore we will try to understand Angirasa.
