Guest guest Posted May 7, 2002 Report Share Posted May 7, 2002 Priya Sriman Sampathji! Jai sRimannarayana! Everything cannot be obtained directly from the Vedic passages. There are somany things like that. Keeping that aside, there were 1131 branches in olden days, and we lost 99% of the whole. Now, we have only 11 brnaches with us. So, in which part of the Vedas these things were described and how, all these details are not known to anybody. Yet, Vedic literature spread into somany branches and they are Smruthis, Ithihasas, Puranas, Agamas etc., Whichever part of these scriptures go against to the availabel Vedas, is not accepted as authority. And all the details of these scriptures go in tune to the existing Vedic texts, are accepted as authority. Sri Pa:nchara:thra A:gamas are accepted by all as authoritative scriptures to reveal the secrets of the Vedas. We can find all the details you have asked in those books. Not only in them, we can find these details in Itihasas also. Demanding to show all the details in the Ve:das looks like demanding to show all the leaves and fruits in a small seed. Think it over. =chinnajeeyar= --- sampath kumar <sampathkumar_2000 wrote: > > Dear friends, > > A friend of mine wants to know the direct references > in any Vedic > text/s to the form and features of Narayana as > 'para-brahmam' i.e. he > wants to know where in the Vedas is to be found a > description of > Brahman consistent with the description of > Sriman-Narayana --- > specifically indicating that Brahman has four-hands > ("chatur-bhuja"), > lies supine ("sEsha-sayanam") and bears the > conch,discuss and mace > ("shanka-chakra-gadAdhAra"), wears a yellow > waist-cloth of fine silk > and gives eternal audience with his Divine Consort > in attendance at > His feet ("sriyah:patih"). > > Can someone knowledgeble amongst you pls. help.
