The Knowledge of the Vedas lies in the knowledge of the seers and the deities. We find that a particular phenomenon or deity was visualized and encoded in the form of Mantras by more than one seers. Under the circumstances, it would be interesting to conduct a comparative and critical study of the nature and type of the various laws or deities of the nature visualized by various seers from their various subjective angles.
This comparative analysis would provide a clear-cut picture as to what extent the various seers have differed or agreed in their visualization of a particular phenomenon.This study would also provide a great help in deducing th actual intention of the original seer while interpreting the Vedic texts.
