Guest guest Posted June 18, 2007 Report Posted June 18, 2007 I am looking for as literal a translation as possible, as well as any interpretative ones, for this verse, Rg Veda I.75.5: Rtam. satyam vijnani. Can't get the diacritics in there right, but you get the idea. thanks in advance, sadhaks! Max -- Max Dashu Art in Goddess Reverence http://www.maxdashu.net Quote
Guest guest Posted June 19, 2007 Report Posted June 19, 2007 Literally " Rtam " is By Law, As a Rule, Permanent, Always, Divine etc " Satyam " is Truth and " Vigani " is some one who is proficient in a specific Branch of knowledge as opposed to all knowing " Jnani " . Brighu Samhita Chapter 7 is all about the difference between Jnana and Vijnana. Some one in this scholarly group who has studied Vedas may comment on the meaning and interpretation of this statement Max Dashu <maxdashu wrote: I am looking for as literal a translation as possible, as well as any interpretative ones, for this verse, Rg Veda I.75.5: Rtam. satyam vijnani.
