Question
Is the Anukramani index of sages and deities of the Rig Veda available online?
Answer
It took a lot of work, but through careful searching of the Oxford's Rig Veda translation through Google Books, I was able to compile most of the Anukramani's sage and deity information, except for some hymns in books 8 and 9 as I'll describe below.
So without further ado, here's the list of seers and deities for each Book of the Rig Veda, in PDF format:
- Rig Veda Book 1
- Rig Veda Book 2
- Rig Veda Book 3
- Rig Veda Book 4
- Rig Veda Book 5
- Rig Veda Book 6
- Rig Veda Book 7
- Rig Veda Book 8 (except for hymns 28-29, 32, 34, 40-100, 102-103)
- Rig Veda Book 9 (except for hymns 1-2, 60-61, 63, 65, 71, 73-77, 81-83, 86, 94-95)
- Rig Veda Book 10
EDIT: The user hfdfh was good enough to write down a lot of the missing names in Books 8 and 9 here. So now I am just missing Hymns 40-100 of Book 8.
