veda-garva

veda

N. of certain celebrated works which constitute the basis of the first period of the Hindū religion (these works were primarily three, viz.
1. the Ṛig-veda,
2. the Yajur-veda
<of which there are, however, two divisions seeﾠ taittirīya-saṉhitā, vājasaneyi-saṉhitā>,
3. the Sāma-veda;
these three works are sometimes called collectively trayī,
« the triple Vidyā» orﾠ « threefold knowledge», but the Ṛig-veda is really the only original work of the three, andﾠ much the most ancient
<the oldest of its hymns being assigned by some who rely on certain astronomical calculations to a period between 4000 andﾠ 2500 B.C., before the settlement of the Āryans in India;
andﾠ by others who adopt a different reckoning to a period between 1400 andﾠ 1000 B.C., when the Āryans had settled down in the Panjāb>;
subsequently a fourth Veda was added, called the Atharva-veda, which was probably not completely accepted till after Manu, as his law-book often speaks of the three Vedas-calling them trayambrahmasanātanam, « the triple eternal Veda»,
but only once XI, 33 mentions the revelation made to Atharvan andﾠ Aṇgiras, without, however, calling it by the later name of Atharva-veda;
each of the four Vedas has two distinct parts,
viz. 1. Mantra, i.e. words of prayer andﾠ adoration often addressed either to fire orﾠ to some form of the sun orﾠ to some form of the air, sky, wind etc.,
andﾠ praying for health, wealth, long life, cattle, offspring, victory, andﾠ even forgiveness of sins, andﾠ 2. Brāhmaṇa, consisting of Vidhi andﾠ Artha-vāda,
i.e. directions for the detail of the ceremonies at which the Mantras were to be used andﾠ explanations of the legends etc. connected with the Mantras
< seeﾠ brāhmaṇa, vidhi>, both these portions being termed ṡruti, revelation orally communicated by the Deity, andﾠ heard but not composed orﾠ written down by men <cf. I. W. 24 etc.. >,
although it is certain that both Mantras andﾠ Brāhmaṇas were compositions spread over a considerable period, much of the latter being comparatively modern;
as the Vedas are properly three, so the Mantras are properly of three forms,
1. Ṛic, which are verses of praise in metre, andﾠ intended for loud recitation;
2. Yajus, which are in prose, andﾠ intended for recitation in a lower tone at sacrifices;
3. Sāman., which are in metre, andﾠ intended for chanting at the Soma orﾠ Moon-plant ceremonies, the Mantras of the fourth orﾠ Atharva-veda having no special name;
but it must be borne in mind that the Yajur andﾠ Sāma-veda hymns, especially the latter, besides their own Mantras, borrow largely from the Ṛig-veda;
the Yajur-veda andﾠ Sāma-veda being in fact not so much collections of prayers andﾠ hymns as special prayer- andﾠ hymn-books intended as manuals for the Adhvaryu andﾠ Udgātṛi priests respectively < seeﾠ yajur-veda, sāma-veda>;
the Atharva-veda, on the other hand, is, like the Ṛig-veda, a real collection of original hymns mixed up with incantations, borrowing little from the Ṛig andﾠ having no direct relation to sacrifices, but supposed by mere recitation to produce long life, to cure diseases, to effect the ruin of enemies etc.;
each of the four Vedas seems to have passed through numerous Ṡākhās orﾠ schools, giving rise to various recensions of the text, though the Ṛig-veda is only preserved in the Ṡākala recension, while a second recension, that of the Bhāshkalas, is only known by name;
a tradition makes Vyāsa the compiler andﾠ arranger of the Vedas in their present form:
they each have an Index orﾠ Anukramaṇī <q.v.>, the principal work of this kind being the general Index orﾠ Sarvânukramaṇī <q.v.>;
out of the Brāhmaṇa portion of the Veda grew two other departments of Vedic literature, sometimes included under the general name Veda,
viz. the strings of aphoristic rules, called Sūtras <q.v.>,
andﾠ the mystical treatises on the nature of God andﾠ the relation of soul andﾠ matter, called Upanishad. <q.v.>, which were appended to the Āraṇyakas <q.v.>, andﾠ became the real Veda of thinking Hindūs, leading to the Darṡanas orﾠ systems of philosophy;
in the later literature the name of « fifth Veda» is accorded to the Itihāsas orﾠ legendary epic poems andﾠ to the Purāṇas, andﾠ certain secondary Vedas orﾠ Upa-vedas <q.v.> are enumerated;
the Vedâṇgas orﾠ works serving as limbs < for preserving the integrity> of the Veda are explained under vedâ̱ṅga below:
the only other works included under the head of Veda being the Pariṡishṭas, which supply rules for the ritual omitted in the Sūtras;
in the Bṛihad-āraṇyaka Upanishad. the Vedas are represented as the breathings of Brahmā., while in some of the Purāṇas the four Vedas are said to have issued out of the four mouths of the four-faced Brahmā. andﾠ in the Vishṇu-Purāṇa the Veda andﾠ Vishṇu are identified) RTL. 7 etc..
