Book Description
Preface
In this book an attempt is made to correlate the data of the Rgveda with the materials of the Indus Valley Civilization. It has been shown that the Indus Valley Civilization was the culmination of the cultural development in the Indo-Iranian region and its authors were the so-called Aryan people who lived there from the very dawn of humanity. Gedrosia Recently, it has become clear that the early cultures of Seistan, Quetta and Kandahar afford numerous analogies with the proto-agrarian cultures of the nearby areas of central Asia and Iran, on the one hand, and are akin to the early phases of civilization in Sind and the Panjab, on the other. The world from Media to Arachosia and the Panjab and from Chorasmia and Sogdiana to and Carmania and Sind and Gujarat was knit up in a common cultural process, which unfolded itself with varied shades in the various regions encompassed in it. Its earliest literary remains consist of the Avesta and the Veda, the data of which deserve to be studied in the light of archaeological finds. In the present work this study has been undertaken with reference to the Rgveda and the remains of the Indus Valley Civilization and the community of ideas, beliefs and concepts, which combines them in the framework of a uniform socio-cultural development, in the light of the latest advances in the field of learning and research. I take this opportunity to thank all those scholars on whose work I drew and whom I have quoted in this publication. In particular, I owe special gratitude to my learned colleagues Dr. Kapila Deva Šästri and Dr. Śri Niväsa Šästri of the Sanskrit Department of the Kurukşetra University for making some valuable suggestions. I am also beholden to the Archaeological Survey of India for providing the Plates and Photographs which have considerably added to the value of the book. It is in the fitness of things that this book on the Rgveda is being published by the V. V. R. Institute which is the premier centre of Vedic studies in our age. I express my indebtedness to its Director, Acārya Vishva Bandhu, whose life is an epic of sacrifice and devotion to the cause of Indic studies, for undertaking to publish this book in the Woolner Indological Series launched by it. I also place on record my thanks to the authorities and workers of the V. V. R. I. Press for printing the book so nicely and expeditiously. I thank my son Śri Kamleśa Kumār for doing the Index.

Introduction
These hymns are capable of other interpretations also according to the standpoint of the expounder. In them, certainly, there is no limitation of meaning. They are, verily, of profound meaning and hard to comprehend] -Durga Veda embodies truth. Truth is timeless. Hence Veda is eternal. But truth habits itself in the apparel of symbols. These symbols develop into words and images which have spatiotemporal contexts. Thus, the linguistic framework and image structure of Veda has a historical aspect. The Rgveda, says Yaska, is so called from thinking." Its essence is thought. The sages and seers gazed at the world around, brooded over its wonders and mysteries, probed into its rhythms and aberrations and tried to under-stand its nature and trend. In moments of contemplation some streaks of truth descended on their mind, some flashes of light shot through their comprehension and some trains of intuition passed before their vision.
