-'''Agniṣvātta''' (devanāgarī: अग्निष्वात्त)
-== General concept ==
-In [[Theosophy|Theosophical]] writings the Agnishvatta-s are one of two classes of [[Pitṛs|Pitris]], the other one being the [[Barhiṣad|Barhishad]]-s
-There are seven classes of Pitris, as shown below, three incorporeal and four corporeal; and two kinds, the Agnishwatta and the Barhishad.  And we may add that, as there are two kinds of Pitris, so there is a double and a triple set of Barhishad and Agnishwatta.  The former, having given birth to their astral doubles, are reborn as Sons of Atri, and are the “Pitris of the Demons,” or corporeal beings, on the authority of Manu (III., 196); while the Agnishwatta are reborn as Sons of Marichi (a son of Brahmâ), and are the Pitris of the Gods (Manu again, Matsya and Padma Purânas and Kulluka in the Laws of the Manavas, III., 195).
