Demigods
The demigods are powerful living entities appointed by the Su-
preme Lord for the maintenance and supervision of all material
functions like the heating, watering and lighting of the universe.
Those who are interested in material benefits worship the demi-
gods by various sacrifices according to the Vedic rituals.
