Sinossi
Excerpt from The God Varuna in the Rig-Veda
The rig-veda is the Vedic Book par excellence. Chronologically, as we have seen, it is the oldest book in Indian literature. Theoretically, it is the most sacred, as it heads the list of books which come under sruti or revelation. The word Veda, which is cognate with the Greek oida, Latin nid-eo, German weiss, English wit, means wisdom or knowledge and Rig (rik) is the name for laudatory verse or stanza. Hence the com pound word rig-veda may be translated by verse-wisdom. It is the earliest and most sacred wisdom of, the Indian Aryans set forth in the form of verses or stanzas which are grouped in hymns. The unit of revelation, as in the Quran, seems to be the verse.
