Synopsis
This book presents English translations of hymns from the Rigveda, an ancient Indian collection of sacred verses. Composed in archaic Sanskrit between 1500 and 1000 BCE, the Rigveda is one of the world's oldest extant religious texts. The hymns, composed by priestly poets known as rishis, express devotion to and seek favors from a pantheon of deities. They provide invaluable insights into the religious, social, and cultural life of the ancient Indo-Aryans, shedding light on the development of religious thought and practice in the Indian subcontinent. The author's extensive commentary elucidates the historical, linguistic, and cultural significance of each hymn, making this book an essential resource for scholars and students of ancient Indian religion, history, and literature alike.
