Sanskrit Manuscripts : Ṛgveda Saṃhitā

Sanskrit Manuscripts

<p style='text-align: justify;'>A modern manuscript containing the first two <i>aṣṭaka</i> (i.e ṚV.1.1 to ṚV.3.6) of the <i>Ṛgveda Saṃhitā</i> (<i>padapāṭha</i> text), with Vedic pitch accent marked. The end of each <i>varga</i> is followed by a criptic sentence, whose meaning is not clear; the first five and last three of these sentences are included in the transcriptions below. A sentence of this same sort has been recorded by Winternitz (1905: 224, No. 166), who could not make a sense out of it and marked it with two question marks.</p>
