Pàgina 609 - Rudra! 3. May that thunderbolt of thine, which, sent from heaven, traverses the earth, pass us by! A thousand medicines are thine, O thou who art freely accessible; do not hurt us in our kith and kin! 4. Do not strike us, O Rudra, do not forsake us! May we not be in thy way when thou rushest forth furiously.
Pàgina 822 - ... Fall vorliegt oder nicht. Varuna ist der göttliche Herr des Rta, der Bestrafer der Sünden. Mitra ist der Schützer von Verträgen , von Freundschaftsbündnissen. Die Asvin sind Helfer aus allerlei Nöten. Agni — wenigstens nach M. Müller (820) , der mir hier etwas zu weit zu gehen scheint — „becomes in the end the Creator, the king of men, omniscient and omnipotent, without (?) one trace of his igneous origin being left".
Pàgina 555 - Adityas seem to have been intended originally for certain manifestations of the sun, whether in the course of the day or in the course of the year.
Pàgina 827 - Brahmanaspati, is the name of a deity in whom the action of the worshipper upon the gods is personified.
Pàgina 452 - Iiidra, doubts about Indra. It sounds strange that for Indra more than for any other god, faith (sraddha) is required in the Vedic hymns. 'When the fiery Indra hurls down the thunderbolt, then people put faith in him,
Pàgina 819 - ... creator of heaven and earth, and source of light and life, he started originally from nature, from the visible fire on the hearth, or from the sun, or from the fiery meteor that descended from the clouds in the shape of lightning. What we know as a fact in this case we may safely extend to other cases. All Vedic gods, nay all Aryan gods, were in the beginning physical.
Pàgina 631 - But the moon also was called the heavenly dog. In $at.-br. XI, 1, 5, 1, we read : ' He (the moon) is the heavenly dog; he watches the animals of the sacrifice.' If then sun and moon, day and night, are called the heavenly dogs, the dogs of Yama, the god of death, that thought was evidently suggested by the fact that day and night, or sun and moon, go on for ever looking out for men, and at last hunting them down, like dogs seeking for prey.
Pàgina 453 - That the Aryan mythologies spring from a common source, the one equation of Dyaush-pitar. Zeus irar»y/>, and Ju-piter has placed once for all beyond the reach of reasonable doubt.
Pàgina 631 - Sabala, the speckled, is the day, Syâma, the daik, is the night. "...Sometimes these two dogs represent not only day and night, but even sun and moon. ...Thus we read in Ath.-veda VI, 80: — "He (the sun) flies through the air, looking down upon all beings, we desire to do homage with havis to thee (who art) the majesty of the heavenly dog."...
Pàgina 547 - ... our enigma. Once more, Demeter is a goddess of Earth, not of Dawn. How, then, does the explanation of a hypothetical Dawn-myth apply to the Earth? Well, perhaps the story, the unseemly story, was first told of Erinnys (who also is ' the inevitable Dawn ') or of Deo, ' and this name of Deo, or Dyava, was mixed up with a hypokoristic form of Demeter, Deo, and thus led to the transference of her story to Demeter. I know this will sound very unlikely to Greek scholars, yet I see no other way out...
