The Vedic Aryans regarded Anumati as the personification
of divine permission or assent. She was, therefore, an abstract
deity. They considered her as a goddess who granted the people
permission to begin the sacrifice. She played a very important
role in the sacrifice performed by the people. Anumati was thus
quite an important goddess to the people since sacrifice occupied
significant position in their lives. Actually sacrifice had
come to play a very important role in the lives of the people
especially during the period of the later Samhitas and Brahmanas.
Anumati was, therefore, quite an important goddess because she
gave the people consent to begin the sacrifice. It may be that
the waning of faith in the sacrifice among a section of the people.
during the period of the later Samhitas and Brahmanas forced the
introduction of Anumati (the personification of divine permission
or assent) who gave the people consent to commence the performance
of the sacrificial ritual. She was also worshipped by the people
for the bestowal of happiness, wealth, strength, energy, progeny,
etc. She belonged to the same genre (that is, the lunar genre)
as the goddesses for example R膩k膩, Sinivall and Kuhu.
