Volume 16 of the Collected Works takes up a large number of hymns from the Rig Veda dedicated to the god Agni to prove beyond doubt the new theory of the Vedas as propounded by Sri Aurobindo. Hymns to the Mystic Fire also reveal to us the journey of the seers, their path and the goal. A selection of hymns dedicated to Agni and translated by Sri Aurobindo was first published in 1946. After addition of the later discovered materials, this selection now includes hymns of nearly 71 different Rishis from various Mandalas of the Rig Veda.
