 Angiras
This may be the reason why the name Angiras is used as an epithet or synonym of Agni The name is also employed as an epithet for the father of Agni, and it is found more especially connected with the hymns addressed to Agni, Indra, and the luminous deities.
Angiras being the father of Agni, they are considered as descendants of Agni himself, who is also called the first of the Angirasas.
The hymns of the Atharvaveda are called Angirasas, and the descendants of Angiras were specially charged with the protection of sacrifices performed in accordance with the Atharvaveda.

 Selection from "The Secret of the Veda"
If Agni is the supreme Angiras, the flame from whom the Angirases are born, Brihaspati is the one Angiras with the seven mouths, the seven rays of the illuminative thought and the seven words which express it, of whom these seers are the powers of utterance.
And if the Angiras Rishis are also in part symbolic or are, like the gods, semi-divine workers and helpers in the sacrifice, so also must be the Bhrigus, Atharvans, Ushana and Kutsa and others who are associated with them in their work.
We have concluded that the Angiras Rishis are bringers of the Dawn, rescuers of the Sun out of the darkness, but that this Dawn, Sun, Darkness are figures used with a spiritual significance.

The word "angel" itself is from the Greek Angelos, and means "messenger." Derived from an Indo-European root, Angelos is related to the Sanskrit word for angel, Angiras, and the Persian word for angel, Angaros.

Not only in Europe, but throughout India and Asia, the idea of angels as guides and friends of humankind, aiding us to be nearer to the Divine, is enshrined in history and art.
