160 The Vedic Religion. actually composed by a woman of the name of Vis- wavara, of the family of Atri. She was not only a Kishi, the composer of Kicks, but also a priestess, discharging the priestly office, worshipping the gods at dawn with hymns and oblations.. Her hymn commences: 'Agni, when kindled, spreads lustre through the firmament, and shines widely in the presence of the dawn. Viswavara, facing the east, glorifying the gods with praises, and bearing the ladle with the oblation, procee...ds to the sacred fire. ' The third verse contains a very appropriate prayer from a wife : ' Preserve in concord the relation of man and wife. ' 1 Still, though monogamy seems to have been the normal state of matters, there are to be found, without any accompanying note of reprobation or disapproval, traces of Polygamy? There is allusion to ' the husband of many maidens, ' with approbation. In one hymn the Aswins are praised : ' You stripped off from the aged Chyavana his entire skin, as if it had been a coat of mail ; you reversed the life of the sage who was without kindred, and constituted him the husband of many maidens.
