Asura in Early Vedic Religion |

| In the Rg-Veda the word asura is frequently used as an epithet for various deities, however, in later Sanskrit it is used instead for a class of demons who are enemies of the gods.
In this book the Vedic passages containing the word asura - are examined to
see how such a remarkable shift in meaning could occur. Every verse in the
Samhitas containing the word asura - or a derivative or a compound of it is

Classical Indian Metaphysics |

| Our knowledge of the most ancient times in India rests mainly on tradition. The Puranas, the Mahabharata, and in a minor degree of Ramayana profess to give accounts from tradition about the earliest accurrences. The Rgveda contains historical allusions, of which some record contemporary persons and events, but more refer to bygone times and persons and are obviously based on tradition.
Almost all the information therefore comes from tradition. The results obtained from an examination of... |

The author shows how gross objects such as cow, horse, chariot and cave have been used by the Vedic seers as symbols of deeper realities. He discusses the process of symbol formation, and establishes the... |
