Description
In this book, this collection of hymns has been exclusively sourced from the Rigveda, the oldest and most significant among the four Vedas. It is within the Rigveda that the essence of the other three Vedas is predominantly found, with little else to offer of noteworthy interest in this particular selection. The principal meters of the Rigveda are faithfully reproduced, ensuring a comprehensive representation of this ancient text. Each of the most significant deities finds expression through at least one hymn. Additionally, a selection of hymns, albeit relatively few, that delve into matters beyond the divine are included. These hymns explore topics ranging from cosmogony and eschatology to facets of social life and magical beliefs.
