THE PURPOSE OF THIS PAPER is to examine a myth in the Rig Veda concerning a set of demons called Panis. The myth of the Panis is here seen as an allegorical statement concerning the reestablishment of world order. Aspects of this myth have been previously mentioned in conjunction with other problems in the Rig Veda, but, the myth itself has not been the subject of a critical study. Thus, its story has not been fully explored, nor its symbolism properly understood. In this paper, the distinctive characteristics of the myth are identified mainly by means of a philological study of one Rig Vedic hymn (10.108) which the Indian tradition identifies as pertaining to the legend of the Panis
