Book Description
Preface

The Kalpatharu Research Academy, Bangalore, feels happy and proud that the prestigious series of volumes on Rgveda-Darsana is promptly seeing the light of the day in quick succession. This year we have brought out another volume in the series, the Fifth one, entitled 'Vishnu-Suktani (Part One). It presents the hymns ascribed to Vishnu in the Rigvedic Corpus. This volume includes also in the form of an appendix, a rare and important text, Rigvidhana, which is of invaluable help in understanding the Vedic hymns. We do hope that the scholarly world will recognize the contributions that the Kalpatharu Research Academy is making towards enriching our Indological literature. As in the case of our previous publications, Vidyalankara, Sastra Chudamanı, Prof. S.K. Ramachandra Rao has spared no pains in making this volume extremely useful to the students of the Vedas. A Volume like this has rarely appeared, it is a monument of erudition and insight. He has thrown fresh light on the Vishnu imagery in Rgveda. The Academy is grateful to him for this service to the cause of Vedic learning through the Academy.

The Academy also places on record the munificent blessings of the Jagadguru of Sri Sringeri Sharada Peetham, His holiness Sri Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji, and the gracious interest in the project by the Chairman of the Academy, Shri V.R. Gowrishankar who is the administrator of Sri Sringeri Sharada Peetham. The Academy is also grateful to the officers of the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Govt. of India, as well as of the Ministry of Education Govt. of Karnataka, Bangalore for interest in and support of its Research Programs. M/s. Omkar Offset Printers have as usual done an excellent job in the production of this volume. The Academy is grateful to them.

Introduction

Among the Süktas of Rgveda, the ones that are most extensively used and that are philosophically most significant are those that have Vishnu and Indra as Devatas. Of the forty-five süktas that are included here. there are süktas which are ascribed Indra and Vishnu together (Indra Vishnu). The relatedness of Indra and Vishnu is an important issue in Vedic exegesis, its symbolism is very significant. The traditional interpretation focusses attention on this. The present volume seeks to present this point of view.

I am grateful to Daivajna K.N. Somayaji, Director of the Kalpatharu Research Academy for having provided this opportunity to me and also to the Chief Patron of the Academy, Sri Sri Sri Bharathi Tirtha Swamiji of Sri Sringeri Sharada Peetham, and to the Chairman of the Academy Sri V.R. Gowrishankar for their interest and support.

I am beholden to Sri Venkatesh Babu and Sri Nagendra of the Omkar Offset Printers for their courtesy and co-operation, while this volume was being produced.
