বেদ - The concluding part of this suktam explains how mysterious this creation is. Only God knows how the universe came into being.
5 ) तिरश्चीनो विततो रश्मिरेषामधः स्विदासी३ उपरि स्विदासी३ ।
रेतोधा आसन्महिमान आसन्स्वधा अवस्तात्प्रयतिः परस्तात् ॥
তিরশ্চীনঃ বিততঃ রশ্মিঃ এষাম্ অধঃ স্বিদ আসীৎ উপরি স্থিৎ আসীৎ ।
রেতোধা আসন্ মহিমানঃ আসন্ স্বধা অবস্তাৎ প্ৰয়তিঃ পুরস্তাৎ ।। ৫ ।।
6 ) को अद्धा वेद क इह प्र वोचत्कुत आजाता कुत इयं विसृष्टिः ।
अर्वाग्देवा अस्य विसर्जनेनाथा को वेद यत आबभूव ॥
को अद्धा वेद क इह प्रवोचत् कुत आ जाता कुत इयं विसृष्टिः |
अर्वाक देवा अस्य विसर्जन अथः को वेद यत आबभूव ||
কো অদ্ধ্বা বেদ ক ইহ প্ৰবোচৎ কুত আ জাতা কুত ইয়ং বিসৃষ্টিঃ ।
অর্বাক দেবা অস্য বিসর্জন অথঃ কো বেদ যৎ আৰভূব ।। ৬ ।।
7 ) इयं विसृष्टिर्यत आबभूव यदि वा दधे यदि वा न ।
यो अस्याध्यक्षः परमे व्योमन्सो अङ्ग वेद यदि वा न वेद ॥
ইয়ং বিসৃষ্টিঃ যতঃ আৰভূব যদি বা দধে যদি বা ন ।
যো অস্য অধ্যক্ষঃ পরমে ব্যোমন্ সঃ অঙ্গ বেদ যদি বা ন বেদ ।।৭।
The Vedas are the fountainhead of Hinduism and its ultimate sacred scriptures. These sacred books are the most ancient preserved literature of the world. It is difficult to say when exactly these works were composed. According to educated guess, these are more than seven to 8,000 years old.
The contents of these books are the records of the spiritual realisation of the sages of that period. Some of the mantras of the Vedas, including the Gaytri mantra are quite popular and are recited regularly by millions.
Everything of Hinduism, the grand old religion of the world, flows out of these sacred books, organised in four -- Rik, Sama, Yajur and Atharva. Composed and preserved in an oral tradition since ancient times, these contain in full the four aspects of religion - philosophy, mythology, rituals, and ethics. Most importantly, these contain the Upanishads, popularly known as Vedanta, which is the greatest philosophical system in the world.
The Vedas contain more than 20, 000 verses of varied lengths. The language used is very old and the mantras have profound meaning. This series of talks tries to give a simple overview of these sacred books.
