Agni Soma Cult
-
-
Aprt from lightning the Holy Fire, the Soma-drinking was another
mark of the Arya cult, which may therefore be called 'the AgniSoma cult-' Soma is a product of the Himalayan regions, so that
when the cult moved down to the plains, Kirata (huntress) girls
from the Himalayan hills supplied it to Brahmanas. The use of
Soma, like the worship of Agni indicates the Himalayan region as
the place where the Agni-Soma cult first originated.
