Agni
Viśvavārā Ātreyī
6 verses: triṣṭubh 1, 3, jagatī 2, anuṣṭubh 4, gāyatrī 5, 6, arranged in trcas ̥
The Anukramaṇī attributes this hymn to a female poet, but her name is extracted from viśvávārā “bringing all desirable things” in 1c, which describes the sacrificial ladle. One of the striking features of this hymn is its use of four different meters in its six verses. As that metrical variation suggests, the hymn is not a unified com position but rather a collection of verses from the Atri tradition, brought together as sāmidhenī verses to accompany the kindling of fire. There are similar com posite sāmidhenī hymns in the collections of the Viśvāmitras (III.27) and of the Bharadvājas (VI.16). As Proferes (2003: 10) notes, these hymns are three of the four hymns used by both the Śāṅkhāyana and Āśvalāyana traditions for the compilation of the sāmidhenī verses used in the classical Vedic rites.
Even though the hymn is a compilation, the tr̥ca form does reflect its structure. The first three verses urge Agni to show himself as he comes into flame. In 1cd the description sounds as though it might refer to the dawn (in 1b), but at the end the subject is revealed to be the ghee-filled ladle, or perhaps it is both the ghee-filled

ladle and the ghee-filled dawn that move forward, the first to the east, the second toward the west. The second tr̥ca (4–6) begins with a praise of the fire in full blaze and an invocation to him to take on the task of bringing the oblations to the gods.
