The Rig Veda (ågveda)

Excerpted from Controlling Your Hormones by Robert L. Peck © 2008

The attached PDF file of the Rig Veda text gives a selection of verses related to the control of inner hormones. The best rendition of each verse in modern English is listed first. This is followed by the 1889 academic translation by Ralph Griffith who followed closely the 1850 translation of Max Muller which was based upon the traditional interpretation of Sayana, a 14th century Hindu scholiast.

The transliterated Sanskrit verse is given next and followed by a listing of the individual words and their related meanings. Finally a commentary is given based upon a modern view. (The verses are preceded by the number of the book, the chapter, and the verse.)
