Book Description
The fourth Mandala of Rig Veda coming from Rishi Vamadeva is a masterpiece in the Vedic literature. It has 58 Suktas or Hymns with 589 verses or Richas. The first 15 Suktas are devoted to Agni and the next 17 to Indra, the remaining to other Gods. For our present study we have picked up the opening Sukta. It has all the necessary elements of Vedic thought, Vedic symbolism, Vedic esotericism, Vedic sadhana, Vedic aims and goals and, of course all the rich elements of Vedic poetry. It is felt that study of this Sukta itself should prove quite rewarding to get into the spirit of Vedic compositions.
