Some knowledge Of the Sanskrit alphabet is needed to grasp the sounds Of letters distinguished by diacritical marks such as n, r, t, s'.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Vedic India: As Embodied Principally in the Rig-Veda The present volume, as originally planned, was to have included the post-vedic or Brahmanic period, and to have borne the title of Story of Vedic and Brakmam'c India. The overwhelming mass of material, however, made it impossible to keep to the original plan, except at the cost of lucidity, com pleteness, interesting detail, and all the qualities that go to make a book with any claim to popularity. Nothing remained but to divide the subject-matter into the two halves into which it naturally separates, and leave the Story of Bra/tenant? India to the im mediately following volume, which will embrace the results attained by the study of the atharva-veda, the Brahmanas, the Upanishads, the Laws, and a synopsis at least of the great epics.

Download or read book The God Varuna in the Rig Veda Classic Reprint written by H. D. Griswold and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-15 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The God Varuna in the Rig-Veda The rig-veda is the Vedic Book par excellence. Chronologically, as we have seen, it is the oldest book in Indian literature. Theoretically, it is the most sacred, as it heads the list of books which come under srati or revelation. The word Veda, which is cognate with the Greek Oicla, Latin vid-eo, German weiss, English wit, means wisdom or knowledge and Rig (rik) is the name for laudatory verse or stanza. Hence the com pound word rig-veda may be translated by verse-wisdom. It is the earliest and most sacred wisdom of the Indian Aryans set forth in the form of verses or stanzas which are grouped in hymns. The unit of revelation, as in the Qaran, seems to be the verse. The rig-veda collection is only'one among four collections. There is in addition the Saman or chant-veda, the Yajus or Veda of sacrificial formulas, and the Atharvan or Veda of popular religion. The four Vedas are not unconnected with one another. Thus all the stanzas of the selma-veda except seventy-five are found in the rig-veda. The Yajur Veda and the atharva-veda also have a considerable amount of material in common with the rig-veda. What we really have, then, in the Four Vedas is the distribution of the original Vedic material into four Sanhitas or Collections. The Four Vedas are a fourfold presentation of the primitive Veda, very much as the Four Gospels are a fourfold presenta tion of the primitive Gospel. By the primitive Veda of course is meant the poetic material of the Vedic age before it was collected. The poetic material existing in the Various Vedic clans and priestly families consisted as the four historic collections show, of a heterogeneous combination of old hymns, charms, philosophical poems, and popular songs, most, but not all of which are of religious content.1 The motive which determined not only the composition of most of the Vedic hymns but also their collee tion and preservation was a religious one. Of the metrical stanzas in Vedic literature fully one half occur in the rig-veda. The rig-veda has furnished nearly all the stanzas for the sama-veda, one-fourth of the matter for the yajur-veda, and a considerable part of the contents of the atharva-veda. The rig-veda, then, is a great documentary source for the other three Vedas, very much as the Gospel of Mark is a chief source for the Canonical Gospels, Matthew and Luke. Each of the four hymn collections has its own elucidative literature in the form of Brahmanas which expound and develop the ritualistic element in the hymns, the Upanisads which do the same thing for the philosophical element, and the Satras which are mnemonic compendia of the Vedic ritual and customary law. Thus by Veda in the narrow sense we mean the rig-veda; in a wider sense, the Four Vedas; and in the widest sense of all, the whole cycle of Vedic literature. The extent of the existing Vedic literature may be estimated from the fact that about one hundred and twenty texts have contributed to the Vedic Concordance of Professor Bloomfield. The Rig Veda itself is about equal in bulk to the Iliad and Odyssey combined. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rigveda: The Oldest Literature of the Indians The invitation Of my publishers to have my treatise on the Rigveda (two Parts, Wissenschaftliche Beilage zum Programm der Kantonsschule in Zurich, 1878 and 1879) published in a somewhat revised and extended form, seemed to me the more to be accepted, since I had repeatedly been urged to do so from the most varied sources, and the article was frequently inquired for in the trade. It is plain that to specialists in the subject, to investigators in the field Of the Veda, it cannot offer anything really new; its aim is to embrace the results Of Vedic investiga tion, as well for beginners in the study as for all those who have a more special interest in this literature, the importance Of which is perceived and admitted in ever-widening circles, especially for theologians, philologists and historians. That, however, it is founded throughout On personal investigation Of the sources and examination Of the investigations of others will be easily perceived by every one who takes the trouble to subject the text and notes to a more minute survey.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Religion of the Veda: The Ancient Religion of India (From Rig-Veda to Upanishads) This volume reproduces with some little amplification six lectures on the Religion of the Veda given before various learned institutions of America during the fall and winter of 1906-07. The period of time and the amount of literature embraced in the term Vedic are large; moreover any discussion of this religion that deserves the name must also include a glance at the prehistoric periods which preceded the religion of the Veda. Consequently my treatment must be selective. It was not difficult to make the selection. I have not thought it necessary to include a complete account of Vedic mythology and legend; nor did the details of priestly ritual and religious folk-practices seem to me to call for elaborate exposition at this time and under the circumstances of a popular treatment of Vedic religion.
