Ṛgveda 1.22.9

Interpretations

Kapali Shastri

Translation

Tr. O Agni, bring hither the spouses of the Gods, desiring; and Tvastri, to the drink of Soma.

Commentary

agne O Flame; devānām of Indra and the like; patniḥ Indrani and others; iha in this sacrifice; upa near; āvaha bring; of what kind? uśatiḥ desiring the offering of the sacrificer (vas to attract, present participle, feminine); likewise tvaştāram Tvastri the divine architect (bring near); for what purpose? somapitaye to drink Soma.

We have spoken before regarding female deities. The wife is the doer, the executor of the work of God the lord who causes it to be done.
