| | | | | Aitareya Brahmana: Encyclopedia II - Rigveda - More recent Indian views Generally speaking, the Indian perception of the Rig-Veda has moved away from the original ritualistic content to a more symbolic or mystical interpretation. For example, instances of animal sacrifice are not seen as literal slaughtering but as transcendental processes. The Rigvedic view is seen to consider the universe to be infinite in size, dividing knowledge into two categories: lower (related to objects, beset with paradoxes) and higher (related to the perceiving subject, free of paradoxes). Swami Dayananda, who started the Arya Samaj and Sri Aurobindo have emphasized ...

| | | | | Aitareya Brahmana: Encyclopedia II - Gandhara - Geography The Gandharas were settled since the Vedic times on the south bank of Kabul River (river Kubha or Kabol) up to its mouth into Indus itself. Later the Gandhras crossed the Indus and invaded into parts of north-west Punjab of Pakistan. Gandhara was located on the grand northern high road (Uttarapatha) and was a centre of international commercial activities. It was an important channel of communicati ...

| | | | | Aitareya Brahmana: Encyclopedia II - Rigveda - Text From the time of its compilation, the text has been handed down in two versions: The Samhitapatha has all Sanskrit rules of sandhi applied and is the text used for recitation. The Padapatha has each word isolated in its pausa form and is used for memorization. The Padapatha is, as it were, a commentary to the Samhitapatha, but the two seem to be about co-eval. The original text as reconstructed on metrical grounds lies somewhere between the two, but closer to the Samhitapatha ("original" in the sense that it aims to recover the hymns in the form of their composition ...

| | | | | Aitareya Brahmana: Encyclopedia II - Gandhara - Gandhara under Greek rule The decline of the Empire left the sub-continent open to Greco-Bactrian expansion. Southern Afghanistan was absorbed by Demetrius of Bactria in 180 BCE, following his campaign against King Subhagasena. This was eventually followed by gains made along, or possibly past, the trans-Indus by Menander, apparently as far as Pataliputra (Patna in Bihar). Under the Greeks, the region became famous for its hybrid artistic styles of Greco-Buddhist art, which incorporated Greek, Hindu and Buddhist motifs. Indeed, the Greeks appeared to have built upon ...

| | | | | Aitareya Brahmana: Encyclopedia II - Gandhara - Language Gandhara's language, Gāndhārī, was a collection of related Prakrit or "Middle Indo-Aryan" dialects. Gāndhārī was written right-to-left in the Kharoṣṭhī script, which was ultimately adapted from the Aramaic alphabet. At the time of its adoption, Gandhāra was controlled by the Achaemenid dynasty of the Persian empire, which used a similar script to write the related Iranian languages of the Empire. This alphabet also sets Gāndhārī apart as a unique set of dialects of the Middle Indo-Aryan period; Semitic scripts were not used to ...

| | | | | Aitareya Brahmana: Encyclopedia II - Vishnu - pre-Puranic Vishnu In the Rigveda, Vishnu is mentioned 93 times. He is frequently invoked with other gods, especially with Indra, whom he assists in killing Vritra, and with whom he drinks Soma. His companionship with Indra is still reflected by his later epitheta Indrānuja and Upendra. His distinguishing characteristic in the Vedas is his association with Light, or even his identification with the Sun. He appears as striding across the heavens in three paces, by Rigvedic commentators explained as denoting the threefold manifestations of light in the form of fire, lightning, and the Sun, or as designating the three daily stations of ...

| | | | | Aitareya Brahmana: Encyclopedia II - Mahajanapadas - Magadha The first reference to the Magadhas occurs in the Atharva-Veda where they are found listed along with the Angas, Gandharis and the Mujavats as a despised people. The bards of Magadha are, however, referred to in early Vedic literature and are spoken of in terms of contempt. The Vedic dislike of the Magadhas in early times was due to the fact that the Magadhas were not yet wholly Brahmanised.
Rigveda mentions a king Pramaganda as a ruler of Kikata. Yasaka declares that Kikata was a non-Aryan country. Later Vedic literatur ...

But they failed to extend their empire to Gandhara. Gandhara was first ruled from Kabul and than from Udabhandapura (Hind).
In 665 AD Kabul was put under siege by Arabs, but they never tried to cross Hindu Kush. Arabs never fully subdued Kabul and Gandhara was ruled from there by Turkshahi for next 200 years. Sometime in 9th century Hindushahi replaced Turkshahi. The date of Hindushahi takeover from Turkshahi (Also recorded as Kabulshahi) is not ...

| | | | | Aitareya Brahmana: Encyclopedia II - Rigveda - Internal evidence The Rigveda is far more archaic than any other Indo-Aryan text preserved. For this reason, it has been in the center of attention of western scholarship from the times of Max Müller. The Rigveda records an early stage of Vedic religion, still closely tied to the pre-Zoroastrian Persian religion. It is thought that Zoroastrianism and Vedic Hinduism evolved from an earlier common religious Indo-Iranian culture.
Scholars usually date the Rig-Veda to the 2nd millennium BC both linguistically and on grounds of its references to late bronz ...

| | | | | Aitareya Brahmana: Encyclopedia II - Mahajanapadas - Overview The political process among the ancient Indo-Aryans appears to have originally started with semi-nomadic tribal units called Jana (meaning tribe). Early Vedic texts attest several Janas or tribes of the Aryans, living in semi-nomadic tribal state, fighting among themselves and with other Non-Aryan tribes for cows, sheeps and green pastures. These early Vedic Janas later coalesced into Janapadas of the Epic Age.
Term "Janapada" literally means the foothold of a tribe. The derivative meaning of Janapada from ...
