Śruti / The four Vedas

The four Vedas

The book holds ten sittings. They move from the four layers to the four saṃhitās. A line is sat only where the words are secure. The one-sitting map is the Śruti portal.

The ten sittings begin with the four layers a reader needs before any one hymn makes sense. Then come the four saṃhitās, and the passages people ask for by name: the creation hymn, the person, the Gāyatrī, the white and black Yajurveda, Śrī Rudram, the sung Veda, the Atharvaveda of the house, and the cosmic pillar.

A line is sat, with its words split, only where the wording is secure. The rest of a hymn is told in prose. The Upaniṣads that close these Vedas have their own twelve sittings. Three of those books are already sat, mantra by mantra, on the verse shelf.

नेपालीमा

दश बसाइ छन्। पहिले चार तह आउँछन्, जसबिना कुनै भजनको अर्थ खुल्दैन। अनि चार संहिता र नाम लिएर सोधिने पाठ आउँछन्: नासदीय, पुरुष, गायत्री, शुक्ल र कृष्ण यजुर्वेद, श्रीरुद्रम्, गाइएको वेद, घरको अथर्ववेद, र स्कम्भ।

संस्कृत त्यहीँ प्रस्तुत हुन्छ जहाँ पङ्क्ति निश्चित छ। बाँकी गद्यमा छ। उपनिषद्को बाह्र बसाइ अर्को पुस्तक हो। तीन उपनिषद् मन्त्रैमन्त्र पदमा पहिले नै समावेश गरिएका छन्।
