Bücher der Reihe The Sacred Books of the East (Volume 46 of 50)

The Sacred Books of the East, a 50-volume series, encompasses the seven non-Christian religions of Asia: Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Zoroastrianism, Jainism, and Islam. Translated into English by authorities in their respective fields, these sacred texts have been edited by F. Max Muller and have profoundly influenced civilization. Vedic Hymns Part 2 (1897), translated by Hermann Oldenberg, is volume XLVI of The Sacred Books of the East, a series available from Cosimo Classics. This book is in two parts and focuses on Hinduism. Part 2 contains hymns to Agni (Mandalas I-V) and has been deemed as culturally important by UNESCO since it is one of the oldest unbroken oral traditions. This text is for those interested in expanding their knowledge of Hinduism.
