Guest guest Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 359. Havir-harih – " The receiver of all oblation. " He is the Lord of all Yajnas and as such, He is the One to whom the devotee offers his oblations, and He is the One who receives them in all dedicated activities. Bhagavat Geeta says, " I am indeed the enjoyer and also the Lord of all sacrifices. " The Lord is called Havis as He is worshipped through oblation. Some commentators recognise in this term two different names of the Lord: `Havih' and `Harih'. In this case, the former term, `Havih' means " He who is invoked by everyone who performs the Yajnas. " The term Harih means " One who loots away all Vaasanaas (Paapa), " and consequently, " One who wipes away all expressions of Vaasanaas.
