Description
Excerpt from The Rig Veda and Vedic Religion
AS this book is written for the average student-reader rather than for the specialist, technicalities have, as far as possible. Been avoided, but the transliteration of Sanskrit words will generally be found to agree with the scheme accepted by the Geneva Congress of Orientalists and the Royal Asiatic Society.
Some knowledge Of the Sanskrit alphabet is needed to grasp the sounds Of letters distinguished by diacritical marks such as n, r, t, s''. But the distinction between long and short vowels is more easy to Observe. All vowels are pronounced in Italian fashion rather than in English, i.e. Like the vowels in do. Re, mi, fa of the musical scale. Long vowels have been given in the text with a long mark Over them, e g. Indrani, Surya.
