Extended information
Most of the Rigveda poems praise many gods, but a few of them talk about philosophical issues. The most famous commentary on the Rig Veda is Sayana in the 14th century in India. His Sanskrit commentary on the Rig Veda is the most famous commentary that has been handed down to this day.
Sayana was born in the Kingdom of Vijayanagar in South India and lived during the period of Bukka I and his successor Harihara II. His masters were the supreme scholars of that time, Shiva Jain (Sarvajna) and Samkarananda (Samkarananda). His annotations are very detailed, annotating almost every word and citing scriptures.
And this great Brahman annotated almost all the Vedas. His knowledge is really terrifying! Of course, his commentary on the Rig Veda is also very large. When Western scholars translate the Rig Veda, they often refer to his commentaries.
"Rig" means praise, and Veda means knowledge and understanding. The poems among them were sung by ancient Indians during sacrifices and sacrifices to gods. In the early days, they were passed down orally, and later they were slowly recorded in writing.
There are many gods recorded in the Rig Veda, but a quarter of its poems praise Indra, the emperor of heaven. There are also at least 200 poems praising Agni, the god of fire. Indra is a very important god in the Veda, but later on, I don’t know why people didn’t worship him much. Instead, worship these three great gods: Brahma, Shiva, and Vishnu.
