Answer »Answer: (c)
The hymns of the Vedas were chiefly composed for chanting at sacrifices, where animals, grains, milk, and clarified butter (ghee) were offered to the gods.
On the most basic level, the sacrifice was conceived of as a meal offered to the devas by the humans. The medium of these offerings was fire or Agni - both in an earthly sense (the word “Agni” is related to the English word “ignite”) and in a divine sense (Agni was considered the god of fire).
Thus Agni was one of the most prominent gods in all of the Vedas, the messenger between the human and the divine realm, the transporter of the dead, and, in some verses, the embodiment of all gods. Furthermore, Agni was sometimes conceived of as heat, or tapas, which was also the purifying ascetic energy necessary for the proper performance of the ritual; the priests would prepare themselves for the ritual by generating tapas—created through various purification rituals and intense meditation— that burned off their spiritual impurities.
