In Book II, Agni emerges progressively as a god as indicated by the title. Along with this, the type of imagery used by the culture who first discovered or devised this entity also grows clear. Bulls and cows are employed when efforts are made to convey the wealth and power and sometimes gender of the deific forces. There is more; readers need to rest assured that the summary serves better as a supplement to the book for students but is not intended to be a substitute.
