Originally published in 1904, The Brhad-Devata is a critical edition and translation of an ancient Sanskrit text attributed to Saunaka. The work serves as a summary of the deities and myths of the Rig-Veda, offering insights into Vedic traditions, hymns, and religious symbolism. Lanman’s scholarly approach provides detailed annotations and linguistic analysis, making it a valuable resource for Indology and Vedic studies.
