Āgneyī is one of the cities of the devas (deva-nagaras) named in the Brahma Parva of the Bhavishya Purāṇa. Sumantu Muni, describing the greatness of Vyoma to King Śatānīka, names the seven samudras and the six varsha-parvatas, Himavat, Hemakūṭa, Nishadha, Nīla, Śveta and Śṛṅgavat, with the great silver mountain Mahārajata in their midst. Above these, he says, are the deva-nagaras: Māhendrī, Āgneyī, Yāmyā, Nairṛtī, Vāruṇī, Vāyavyā and Īśānī. Āgneyī is the second of them.
