Guest guest Posted October 27, 1999 Report Share Posted October 27, 1999 Dear Sri Vaishnava perunthagaiyeer Sri Sampath kumaran has raised a point on svaahah. It is true that Svaaha: is agni's wife. The word svaaha: also means an exclamatory word meaning I am making an oblation in the fire Oh... devata please accept. [Viz.the word "Indraaya svaahah" means "Oh Indra, I am offering an oblation, Please accept". This word is also indeclinable in grammar, means does not change according to gender, vibakthi. Agni is the courier who carries the oblation offered. So it does not mean svaaha the wife of agni screens the offering and then permits her husband to carry it. Of course in the lighter vein, we can accept what Sri sampath says, first she screens, then permit the husband to carry. Dasan Vasudevan M.G.
