cosmic creation, from Agni, sustainer of the light of
knowledge, Vayu, vibrant sage with passion and strong
will, Savita, i.e., Aditya, brilliant and inspiring like the
sun, and Angiras, the sage inspiring as omnipresent
Vishnu and breath of life. (Rg. 10-181-1)
(This Vasishtha, the brilliant disciple of the four
sages, Agni, Vayu, Aditya andAngira, who then became
the teacher of the Vedas, was Brahma. Swami
Brahmamuni explains this interpretation of this mantra
in his commentary on Rgveda and cites authoritative
evidence from the Brahmana works. Swami Dayananda
explains the cosmic process of creative evolution and
Vedic revelation in his Introduction to his Commentary
on the Vedas, Rgvedadi Bhashya Bhumika, saying on
Vedic and ancient authority that the Vedas were first
revealed to four sages: Rgveda to Agni, Yajurveda to
Vayu, Samaveda toAditya, andAtharva veda toAngira.
Brahma, the brilliant disciple and later the inspired
teacher, learnt the Veda from these four sages and passed
on this knowledge to his disciples.)
