Rig Veda Hymn to Agni, Mandala I, Sukta 1, the First Hymn of the Rig Veda

The first hymn in the Rig Veda is described and translated by Sri Aurobindo.  In The Secret of the Veda Sri Aurobindo utilizes this hymn to show the psychological significance of the Veda and to illustrate its method of dual meaning of the terms, having both an outer, exoteric, and an inner, esoteric significance.  He translates this hymn in full in Hymns to the Mystic Fire.  The recordings were made at Sri Aurobindo Ashram in 1973.  Sanskrit recited by Sri Vinayak.  English translation recited by Santosh Krinsky
