Rgvedic Society May 15, 2002
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Aguilar I Matas provides a rare yet necessary look at the complexity of Rgvedic SOCIETY instead of focusing, as many do, on Rgvedic religion. He shows that aryas were a heterogenous community composed of a number of groups including the ari and the suri. The Rgveda promoted suri ideals and Indra religion. This text also depicts the ari as antagnistic to the supremecy of Indra and the soma sacrifice while venerting Varuna as sovereign deity. This book is essential for any scholar of Vedic tradition.
