Agni suktam  is the first suktam of Rigveda. Agni deva carries the havis of homas and gives to the Devathas. Agni is the most important of the Vedic gods. Agni means heat we digest our food and cook of our food beacuse of Lord Agni. In most of the Hindu houses they pray to Lord Agni before lighting the stove. The fire god does not harm to people who recite this suktam. During the Khandanva forest dhana , the khandanva forest was burnt by God Agni with the help of Arujna and Lord Sri Krishna, the Muni who had bird wife and bird children were not burnt as the Muni recited Agni suktam.
