: archive.org: Vedic index of Names and Subjects

ҳṛtī (घृतप्री) or “fond of butter� is an epithet of Agni.—Cf. Ghṛta (“ghee�) which and is repeatedly mentioned in the Ṛgveda and later both as in ordinary use and as a customary form of sacrifice. [...] Because the butter was thrown into the fire, Agni is styled ‘butter-faced�, ‘butter-backed�, and ‘propitiated with butter�, and ‘fond of butter� (ṛtī). Water was used to purify the butter: the waters were therefore called ‘butter-cleansing�. In the Aitareya Brāhmaṇa it is said that Ājya, Ghṛta, Āyuta, and Navanīta pertain to gods, men, Pitṛs, and embryos respectively.
