What is the five mandala of Rigveda

Answers

Answered by devanshchoudhary17mc

The Famous Gayatri mantra is in Rig Veda Mandala 3

Each mandala consists of Suktas which are basically eulogies.

Rig-Veda has two recensions or Branches. The major surviving branch is Śākalya. Another branch is Bāskala or Vatkal.

The first word of Rig-Veda is Agni. Hymn 1.1 is addressed to Agni.

The 10thmandala contains the purush Sukta which explains the 4 Varnas were born from the Mouth, arms, thighs and feet of the Brahma or Purusha. It is said to have been added later.

Mandala 9 is completely devoted to Soma.

Nasadiya Sukta which talks about the origin of the Universe is in 10th Mandala. It begins by paradoxically stating “not the non-existent existed, nor did the existent exist then” and has attracted large body of literature of commentaries both in Indian theology and in Western philology.
