Forms of Agni
Agni had been controlled and domesticated and brought into the home, kept alive through careful tending; and is propitiated with offering. Agni is the friend and the center of household in the ritual sense or otherwise. Agni is the protector of men and their homes; he presides over all sacraments. He is the witness to all the significant events and commitments that men and women make in their lives. Agni validates their life events on all solemn occasions.

Agni is represent as all that burns and devours or digests. Agni is Vaisvanara the all pervader; the one who spreads, takes over, and consumes. Agni is the Sun, heat, stomach, lust, passion, and speech. Digestive acids considered forms of Agni.

The fire of anger, the fire of lust, and all that destroys opens possibilities of other forms of yajna. War is one of the other forms of yajna –maarana homa. Human life and its efforts to exist amidst adversities; and to survive is an ongoing yajna.
