Has Ravana authored any adyaya in Rig Veda

[Ramacchandran 0]

I am a man in 57, who is doing research in Vedas and enrolled for Ph.D.

 

When I was referring old magazines I found that Rawana had authored VII Ashtaga in Rig Veda and authored Araka Prakasa.

This deals with Medicine and the same might have called Caraka Samhita in later days.

 

Is there any Manuscript with you to establish this?

Do you mean seventh mandala there is nothing called seventh ashtaka in rigveda. Also, I don't think it is possible because Rigveda is supposed to predate Ravana. Let me know the mandala because the chapter 7 of mandala 7 is all authored by Vasistha and the chants are to be done by Maitra-varuni priest.
