The earliest of the four Hindu religious scriptures known as the
Vedas, and the first extensive composition to survive in any
Indo-European language, "The Rig Veda" (c. 1200?900 bc) is a
collection of more than 1,000 individual Sanskrit hymns. A work of
intricate beauty, it provides unique insight into early Indian
mythology and culture. Fraught with paradox, the hymns are meant
?to puzzle, to surprise, to trouble the mind, ? writes translator
Wendy Doniger, who has selected 108 hymns for this volume. Chosen
for their eloquence and wisdom, they focus on the enduring themes
of creation, sacrifice, death, women, and the gods. Doniger's "The
Rig Veda" provides a fascinating introduction to a timeless
masterpiece of Hindu ritual and spirituality.
