INHUMATION, CREMATION, AND <strong>THE</strong> SOUL. 535<br />
536 INHUMATION, CREMATION, AND <strong>THE</strong> SOUL.<br />
Agni (Ignis) is a very important personage in Hindu<br />
This is confirmed <strong>by</strong> the fact that one of the most common<br />
mythology. He is one of the chief divinities along with Indra<br />
ways of making human sacrifices' to Odin was to set fire to the<br />
and Surya, and very many of the hymns of the Rig-Veda<br />
house of the victim when asleep. So his people " burned Olaf<br />
are addressed to him. Agni is the messenger (dutas) between<br />
Tretelgi in his house, giving him to Odin, sacrificing him that<br />
men and the gods<br />
: he bears up to the gods the butter poured<br />
they themselves might have plenty." As Odin himself had<br />
out on the fire in sacrifice, hence he is called ' Butter-back '<br />
ordained that all dead men should be burned and brought on<br />
{ghritanatas) : as he mediates between men and the gods he<br />
the pyre with their property, it is plain that the European<br />
is called priest (hotas).<br />
creinationists regarded fire as the only medium <strong>by</strong> which the<br />
But in the Rig-Veda itself there are indications that Agni is<br />
soul could reach the hall of Odin, just as the Hindus held Agni<br />
also the transmitter of the soul to Yama. Thus in a hynni Agni<br />
to be both the priest of Yama and the only conductor of the<br />
is declared to be the priest,<br />
who provides sacrifices for Indra,<br />
spirits to Yama. In each case the burning of the dead is bound<br />
the Maruts and all the gods. Then comes the question, Is Agni<br />
up with the idea of sacrifice.<br />
the priest of Yama also?' Many times in other hymns is Agni<br />
described as the messenger from men Agni therefore as the conveyer of the dead man's soul to<br />
to the gods. The offerings<br />
Yama is<br />
regarded as Mroka, the ' destroyer,' an appellative<br />
are placed on the fire and the Fire-god conveys them up to<br />
which has a special reference to his function of burning the dead.<br />
heaven. To make him also the conductor of the souls to Yama<br />
But Agni<br />
is not merely the 'corpse-eater' himself, it is his<br />
is but a slight extension of the general doctrine that Agni is<br />
function likewise to drive away carnivorous Pisachas that beset<br />
the onlv mediator between the visible and invisible world.<br />
the place where the corpse is laid.<br />
As fire was the only means where<strong>by</strong> material objects, such<br />
" Far off we drive malignity, destruction, Pisachas, bancpieters<br />
as sacrifices, could be conveyed to the gods, it was natural to<br />
on fiesh, and Grahi. And all the demon kind, the brood of sin,<br />
