Guest guest Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 Learned members, Please do educate me on a subject. For long I had a perception that the name "Shiva" does not fashion in the Vedas. Now, I am pretty sure that it doesnot fashion in Rig Veda because I did not find the name mentioned there unless I have skipped any reference. Ofcourse Rudra features 5 verses in all the 10 books of Rig Veda. However, unfortunately, I did not get an opportunity to see the Sanskrit version of the Yajur Veda. But I read recently that Shiva fashions many times there. Rudram, Chamakam, Pachakshari Matra, Maha Mritunjaya mantra are all extracts from Taittiriya Sanhita. Can anyone confirm this please. Also, I have another query: Could someone please explain the following verse to me. (Since it is in sanskrit font, I couldn't paste it here) The text extract can be found at: http://satyamshivamsundaram.blogspot.com/2006_01_01_satyamshivamsunda ram_archive.html Rig Veda, Book 1 Verse 43 Lines 7-10 The english interpretation which is given is: He shines in splendour like the Sun, refulgent as bright gold is he, The good, the best among the Gods. However, I guess the word "Shukra" feautres here, which could mean that "He who shines like Venus and the Sun"? Regards, Souvik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
