Therefore which mantras provide for which purushartha was known very well to Angirasa rushi.  As he was knowledgeable in mantras which leads one to the “parama pada” or the highest abode he was the '''sarvavidaha or sarvajna''' as explained in Rk Samhita 1.164.45 :<blockquote>'''“chatvarivak parmita padani thani viduhi brahmanaha ye manishinaha” (Rk Samhita 1.164.45)'''</blockquote>These “'''paraha''' ()”, “'''pasyanthi'''” (), “'''madhyama'''” () and “'''vaikhari'''” () are the 4 ways of speech .

'''Import of Angirasa bringing the cows'''

====== '''Esoteric Understanding of Angirasa bringing the cows''' ======
 
   
The esoteric meaning of bringing down the cows (synonymous to the Vedas) from the mountain top is very significant. The panis have common knowledge, who cannot assimilate the high standard of Vedic knowledge.  Their carrying away the cows symbolises that 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. The knowledgeable who had faith in these cows, were inconvenienced. 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.
