| Panis are demonic and used here in plural as 'panis' indicating not just one person but many such who existed during the vedic period. From the [[Story of Stealing the Cows (गोग्रहणम्)|Gograhana]] story if we accept cows as Vedas or knowledge, then it could be said that Panis are the powers that hinder the progress of knowledge. Thus from the Rig veda suktas we can understand that the panis are the jnana apaharaka shakti (the thieves of knowledge). | | Panis are demonic and used here in plural as 'panis' indicating not just one person but many such who existed during the vedic period.

Consumed with only materialistic aspirations they lack the spiritual interest. They steal the knowledge or imprison the Brahma Nishtas to ensure that the knowledge is not spread. Angirasa who was knowledgeable about the characteristics of cows rescues them from the caves where they were hidden by the Panis. | + | They are people who create obstacles wherever there are positive activities which are meant for enhancing dharma or favouring the devathas that revere the go samuha or herd of the cows.

Many mantras of the Rg veda prove that Panis were the original residents of Bharatavarsha, though [[Max Mueller]] & [[Bishop Caldwell]]'s Aryan-Dravidian Hoax claims that the Panis were chased away by the Aryas. | + | The panis are materialistic people and enemies of wisdom who envy the jnanis.
