Changes

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.

As seen in the story of Angirasa protecting the cows, there is a historical and legendary perspective to it.  If historically Panis are considered Dravidians and Angirasa a brahamana, is it a conflict between Dravidians sudras and brahmanas? If panis were business minded people and doing agriculture work, did they not have cows? What does that mean by stealing cows? So this could lead to lot of wrong understanding.  

As seen in the story of Angirasa protecting the cows, there is a historical and legendary perspective to it.  If historically Panis are considered Dravidians and Angirasa a brahamana,some questions aris,  

# ''Is it a conflict between Dravidian sudras and brahmanas?''   

# ''If panis were business minded people and doing agriculture work, did they not have cows?''   

# ''What does that mean by stealing cows?''   

So this esoteric knowledge has been deliberately misused by the Indologists to create a wrong notion of shastras and create oppositional categories to suit their colonial agenda. 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''' (having the knowledge of the Veda) '''and the 4 legs of this Kamadhenu the Vedas are dharma, artha, kama, moksha –these purusharthas.'''  <blockquote>'''''Therefore which mantras provide for which purushartha?''''' </blockquote>This Angirasa muni knew! '''And knowing very well which mantras have the offering highest planet “parama pada”. He was the svar vidaha sarva jna. T'''his is our pitris as the Vedas explained in Rk Samhita1.164.45 :  <blockquote>'''“chatvarivak parmita padani thani viduhi brahmanaha ye manishinaha”'''</blockquote>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 purusharthas''' 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 is the import of Angirasa (the all knower) bringing the cows, who are synonymous to the 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” (cows) or the Vedic words were not damaged. 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 may be in disguise and steal the words of Vedas, but they won’t get the benefit of the Vedas. They may say Vedas are meaningless, insignificant and contain useless subject matter and they may distort the Vedas to compile their philosophies based on their erroneous understanding, but such people will 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 inconvenienced by the Panis. However, great personalities 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 despite the great difficulties and provide 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.

“chatvarivak parmita padani thani viduhi brahmanaha ye manishinaha”  

'''Therefore that knowledge which is controlled in the darkness by the panis, who themselves are controlled by the lamp of knowledge, this knowledge is diffused by Angirasa, who is always residing in us ......THINK I HAVE GOT THIS WRoNG -CHECK'''  

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.  

. His efforts to protect the knowledge is well known around the world. In the Vedas also it is glorified in different way.  

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 destructive life systems and those who are practicing atheistic concepts, the modern lokayuthas and those who have accepted the transformation of the Vedas in wrong way, these are all Panis. Therefore to protect DHarma from these disturbing elements and thought processes, people like Angirasa were committed to fight them and thus their work is significant.

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.
