Government of IndiaHymns of the Rig-Veda
Author: Manning, Charlotte
Keywords: Rig-Veda, Hymns, Vedas, Panini, Sanskrit
Publisher: Susil Gupta, Calcutta
Description: Authored by Charlotte Manning, this book lists the hymns of the Rig-Veda, which is considered to be the oldest existing work in Sanskrit. It consists of prayers and hymns addressed to the grand and beautiful phenomena of nature. The date at which these prayers and hymns were composed will probably never be ascertained with certainty, but we may safely say that in their present shape they were not collected later than about 1200 B.C., and that they were committed to writing before the time of Panini, the greatest grammarian of India.
