Personal Guidance
Aṅgirā had two wives — Svadhā, who accepted the Pitās as her sons, and Satī, who accepted the Atharvāṅgirasa Veda as her son. A wife can mother a body of knowledge as readily as a body of flesh.
Reflection Questions
  • What 'child' have I given birth to that is a body of knowledge rather than a body?
  • Do I honor non-physical offspring as fully as physical ones?
