Rig-Veda (1877) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781437277203)

Rig-Veda (1877) is a comprehensive translation of the Rig-Veda, one of the oldest and most important texts in Hinduism. The book was written by Hermann Grassmann, a German linguist and Sanskrit scholar, and was first published in 1877. The Rig-Veda is a collection of hymns and prayers that were composed in ancient India over 3,000 years ago. It is considered to be the oldest religious text in the world and is revered by Hindus as a sacred scripture. Grassmann's translation of the Rig-Veda is based on a careful analysis of the original Sanskrit text, and he provides detailed notes and commentary on each hymn. The book is divided into ten mandalas or books, each containing hymns dedicated to different deities. The Rig-Veda is an important source of information about ancient Indian culture, religion, and mythology, and Grassmann's translation is a valuable resource for scholars and students of Hinduism and ancient Indian history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
