Agni（阿格尼）印度火神

生活家

  Agni is the Hindu god of fire.
  He is regarded as the friend and protector of humanity, in particular, he safeguards the home. He was especially important in the Vedic period (1500-500 BCE), and the Vedas contains more hymns to him than to any other deity. He is still considered today omnipresent though not directly worshipped.
  Agni is the son of the Celestial Waters，who is also responsible for lightning which is born from the god's union with the cloud goddess. Another fire Agni is associated with is the funeral pyre; in this role, he leads the dead to their final judgement by Yama, ruler of the Underworld. Agni is perhaps most closely associated with sacrificial fires where he is thought to carry the offerings of humans to the gods. He appears in all forms of fire and even those things which burn well or have a certain lustre.
  Over time Agni's importance as a god diminishes, a fact explained in the Mahabharata as due to his overindulgence in consuming one too many offerings. Agni, according to one Rigveda hymn attributed to the sage Vasistha, also has a darker side. This episode, when Agni becomes a servant of the gods, is illustrative of his fall from the pinnacle of the pantheon.
  According to various myths, Agni was at first afraid to take on this duty as his three brothers had been killed already whilst performing the task. Consequently, He hid in the subterranean waters but, unfortunately, fish revealed his hiding place to the gods. As a result, Agni cursed them so that fish would become the easy prey of men. Reluctantly taking up his duty again.He did negotiate by way of compensation to always receive a share of the sacrifice he carried to the gods and he was given the boon of ever-lasting life.
