 In one Vedic hymn "Apām Napāt" is described as emerging from the water, golden, and "clothed in lightning", which has been speculated as referring to fire.His regular identification with Agni, who is described a number of times as hiding or residing in water, and comparison with other Indo-European texts, has led some to speculate about the existence of a Proto-Indo-European myth featuring a fire deity born from water.Such texts include a ninth-century Norwegian poem that uses the name "sǣvar niþr", meaning "grandson of the sea," as a kenning for fire, and an old Armenian poem in which a reed in the middle of the sea spontaneously catches fire, from which springs the hero Vahagn, with fiery hair and eyes that blaze like sun.
