[Agni is the God of Fire, the Ignis of the Latins and Ogni of the Slavonians. He is one of the most prominent deities of the Ṛigveda. He, as an immortal, has taken up his abode among mortals as their guest; he is the domestic priest, the successful accomplisher and protector of all ceremonies; he is also the religious leader and preceptor of the gods, a swift messenger employed to announce to the immortals the hymns and to convey to them the oblations of their worshippers, and to bring them down from the sky to the place of sacrifice. He is sometimes regarded as the mouth and the tongue through which both gods and men participate in the sacrifices. He is the lord, protector and leader of people, monarch of men, the lord of the house, friendly to mankind, and like a father, mother, brother &c. He is represented as being produced by the attrition of two pieces of fuel which are regarded as husband and wife. Sometimes he is considered to have been brought down from heaven or generated by Indra between two clouds or stones, created by Dyau, or fashioned by the gods collectively. In some passages he is represented as having a triple existence, which may mean his three- fold manifestations as the sun in heaven, lightning in the atmosphere, and as ordinary fire on the earth, although the three appearances are also elsewhere otherwise explained. His epithets are numberless and for the most part descriptive of his physical characteristics: धूमकेतु, हुतभुज्, शुचि, रोहिताश्व, सप्तजिह्व, तोमरधर, घृतान्न, चित्रभानु, ऊर्ध्वशोचिस्, शोचिष्केश, हरिकेश, हिरण्यदन्त, अयोदंष्ट्र &c. In a celebrated passage he is said to have 4 horns, 3 feet, 2 heads, and 7 hands. The highest divine functions are ascribed to Agni. He is said to have spread out the two worlds and + produced them, to have supported heaven, formed the mundane regions and luminaries of heaven, to have begotten Mitra and caused the sun to ascend the sky. He is the head and summit of the sky, the centre of the earth. Earth, Heaven and all beings obey his commands. He knows and sees all worlds or creatures and witnesses all their actions. The worshippers of Agni prosper, they are wealthy and live long. He is the protector of that man who takes care to bring him fuel. He gives him riches and no one can overcome him who sacrifices to this god. He confers, and is the guardian of, immortality. He is like a water-trough in a desert and all blessing issue from him. He is therefore constantly supplicated for all kinds of boons, riches, food, deliverance from enemies and demons, poverty, reproach, childlessness, hunger &c. Agni is also associated with Indra in different hymns and the two gods are said to be twin brothers.

Such is the Vedic conception of Agni; but in the course of mythological personifications he appears as the eldest son of Brahmā and is called Abhimānī [Viṣṇu Purāṇa]. His wife was Svāhā; by her, he had 3 sons - Pāvaka, Pavamāna and Śuchi; and these had forty-five sons; altogether 49 persons who are considered identical with the 49 fires. He is also represented as a son of Aṅgiras, as a king of the Pitṛs or Manes, as a Marut and as a grandson of Śāṇḍila, and also as a star. The Harivaṁśa describes him as clothed in black, having smoke for his standard and head-piece and carrying a flaming javelin. He is borne in a chariot drawn by red horses and the 7 winds are the wheels of his car. He is accompanied by a ram and sometimes he is represented as riding on that animal. Agni was appointed by Brahamā as the sovereign of the quarter between the south and east, whence the direction is still known as Āgneyī. The Mahābhārata represents Agni as having exhausted his vigour and become dull by devouring many oblations at the several sacrifices made by king Śvetaki, but he recruited his strength by devouring the whole Khāṇḍava forest; for the story see the word खाण्डव].

Grammatical information: v.

Meaning: `to shy from smth., to feel ashamed', posthom. `to be in awe, to honour', esp. as regards the gods (Δ 242).

Other forms: also σέβω (Pi., trag., rarely in prose; cf. Schw.-Debrunner 234), nonpres. forms quite rare: aor. pass. σεφθῆναι (S. Fr. 164, Pl. Phdr. 254b), fut. σεβήσομαι (pap. II^p).

Compounds: Rarely with προσ-, ἀντι-.

Derivatives: A. σέβας n. (only nom. a. acc.; pl. σέβη A. Supp. 755) `(sacred) awe, amazement, worship, object of awe, of worship' (ep. poet. Il.); after γέρας? (cf. Chantraine Form. 422; s. also on σεμνός); as 2. member, after the εσ-stems, - σεβής (Schwyzer 514; aslo relation to σέβομαι is possible), s.g. εὑ-σεβής `God-fearing, pious' (Thgn., Pi. etc.) with εὑσέβ-εια, - έω, - ημα; after this and after ἀσέβημα the simplex σέβημα n. `worship' (Orph.). From σέβας: 1. the aorist σεβάσσατο (Il.), to which σεβάζομαι, σεβασθῆναι (late) = σέβομαι. From this a. σεβάσεις pl. `deferences' (Epicur.); b. - σμα n. `object of worship, shrine' (D. H., NT etc.); c. - σμός m. `worship' (hell. a. late) with - σμιος, - σμιότης; d. - στός `venerable, reverend, elevated', = Lat. Augustus (D. H., Str. etc.; also to σέβας) with - στιος, - στικός, - στεύω, - στεῖον. 2. σεβίζομαι, - ίζω = σέβο-μαι (Pi., trag. a.o.; can also be enlargement of σέβομαι) with - ισμα n. (sch.). -- B. Verbal adj. σεπτός `venerable' (A. Pr. 812, late prose), mostly comp., ἄ-, περί-, θεό-σεπτος a.o. (trag. a.o.); σεπτ-ικός, - εύω H. C. nom. ag. θεο-σέπτωρ m. `worshiper of gods' (E. Hipp. 1364 [anap.]; Fraenkel Nom. ag. 2, 28). D. σέβερος εὑσεβής, δίκαιος H. -- On σεμνός and σοβέω s. v.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [1086] *ti̯egʷ- `have respcct for smb.'

Etymology: Phonetically possible, but at least at first sight semant. not very convincing is the connection with Skt. tyajati `desert, leave alone, abandon' (Brugmann IF 25, 301 ff., WP. 1, 746, Pok. 1086). The causative σοβέω (s. v.) points for σέβομαι to an orig. meaning `run away, flee' v. t.; from this `(schameful) redress for sth., yield'? Doubts by Mayrhofer s.v. (w. lit.); agreement by v. Erffa Αἰδώς (Phil. Supp. 30: 2) 27 f. The equation of σεπτός with tyaktá-, of θεο-σέπτωρ with tyaktar-, to which also the s-stems σέβας: tyajas- (Porzig Satzinhalte 301), is without impostance for the etymology, as it could be monolingual innovations. Acc. to v. Windekens Orbis 14, 117 here also Toch. AB yäk- `negligent, careless, be c.'; doubtable.
