The nine essays in this volume grew out of papers presented in the Vedic
section of the 13th World Sanskrit Conference held in Edinburgh, Scotland,
10-14 July, 2006. The essays illustrate the directions that European and
American scholars have taken contemporary Vedic studies. They thus not only
add to our knowledge of Vedic texts and traditions, but they also offer
innovative perspectives on the Veda. The central focus of this volume is the
Rgveda. Seven of its papers reflect a renewed effort within Rgvedic studies to
reconstruct Vedic religious and social history, to define more precisely the style
of Rgvedic poetry and its relation to the purposes of the text, and to connect
the Rgveda to both earlier Indo-lranian and Indo-European traditions and to
later Vedic literature. While studies of the Rgvecla have often presented the text
as isolated within Indian culture, these work to integrate the Rgveda within the
larger religious, literary, and cultural histories of India. The final two papers of
the volume analyze the construction of a later Vedic text and illustrate the
continuity of Vedic traditions into the post-Vedic period.
