The video is in Telugu.

He explains that sage AngIrasa first got the vision Devi in the form of Pratyangira and had composed mantras, which are embedded in Atharva Veda.

He had further explained that Pratyangira got the name of Nikhumbhila, because once Pratyangira was worshipped by a demon by name Nikhumbha, using the mantras composed by Sage angIrasa and got the darshan of the former.
