== Who is Angirasa? ==

Angirasa () rushi is associated with In the RgVeda  (10.108), there is a story in connection to the cows it is explained very beautifully with great deep meaning. Panis were demons who stole the cows

Previously it was explained that Angirasa Rushi was helping Indra to find the Panis who stole the cows. So what is his role? What is this in which Indra could not recognize and how could Angirasa could recognize? What is the connection between such historical and such perceptions? If panis are Dravidians, then Angirasa who is 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. The Rg Mantra, 97.36 explains how Angirasa assisted Indra. It is explained “yena naha purve pitaraha padjna svarvido abhigha adrimushnan” our previous family, the ancestors, pitris, Angirasa who is sarvajna who had knowledge of para loka, when the cows were stolen he knew the foot marks of these cows and then he brought the cows from mountains. That is Angirasa. 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”
