Hardcover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. The purpose of this study is to isolate and define the concepts associated with the cow in the Rigveda so as to aid in the overall comprehension of passages wherein terms for 'cow' appear. The usual terms for 'cow' are aghnya (aghnya), usra, usriya, dhenu, go, vasa, and stari. Together, they occur nearly 700 times in the Rigveda, that is, more frequently than any other animal, and about as frequently as references to Indra, the most popular god in the Rigveda. The significant feature of this vast amount of material on the cow is that 'cow' terms appear in every major subject treated in the Rigveda. This text considers the economic, ritual and mythological aspects of Rigvedic life, though not with equal emphasis. The subject is dealt with in five chapters with a comprehensive analysisIntroduction, the cow in vedic economic life, in the vedic ritual, in vedic mythology and epithets. The Indra-Vrtra myth, the myth of the Panis and other mythological contexts are elaborately discussed. An exegesis on selected passage, Bibliography, Index of Rigvedic passages and word index are added for easy reference. …

From an AI overview: "Doris Meth Srinivasan's book Concept of Cow in the Rigveda, originally published in 1979 by Motilal Banarsidass, isolates and defines the varied meanings, roles, and terms associated with the cow to clarify passages where cow-related vocabulary appears in the ancient text. Key Findings and Statistics. Frequency: Terms for "cow" (aghnya, usra, usriya, dhenu, go, vasa, and stari) appear nearly 700 times in the Rigveda. Significance: Cows are mentioned more frequently than any other animal and roughly as often as Indra, the text's most popular deity. Ubiquity: Cow terminology surfaces across every major subject in the Rigveda, reflecting deep integration into early Indo-Aryan life.Structure and Core Themes. The book is organized into five main chapters examining different dimensions of Rigvedic society: Economic Life: Evaluates the cow as a primary unit of wealth, barter, and sustenance in a pastoral economy. Vedic Ritual: Explores the use of cows and bovine products (such as milk and oblations) in household ceremonies, Srauta sacrifices, and as dakshina (sacrificial fees/gifts). It also addresses the ritual term aghnya (meaning "not to be slain" or inviolable under certain contexts). Mythology: Analyzes how the cow functions symbolically and metaphorically -- such as associated with the dawn, rain, rivers, or cosmic light released from enclosures by deities like Indra. Epithets: Catalogs and defines specific linguistic terms and descriptive titles given to bovine animals depending on their age, status, or ritual function.". First Edition (so stated). Hardcover.
