Book pages clean. No markings in book. Binding is tight. The ninth Mandala of the Rigveda also called the Soma Mandala has 114 hymns entirely devoted to Soma Pavama-na Purifying Soma the sacred potion of the Vedic religion. Similar to RV 8 it cannot be dated within the relative chronology of the Rigveda as a whole; dealing with the Soma cult a practice reaching back into Proto-Indo-Iranian times late 3rd millennium BC some of its hymns may contain the very oldest parts of the Rigveda while other hymns may be rather recent relative to the other books. As with book 8 each hymn should be studied independently since the Soma Mandala was not compiled by the redactors in its preserved form on grounds of authorship or clan affiliation but topically grouping the Soma hymns.

First Ed unstated. Hardback with DJ. "For centuries translators of the Rg Veda ca. 1500 B.C. have been perplexed by the presence of passages whose meanings seem hopelessly obscure their associations buried in the remote past. In this innovative study the author deals with the Rg Veda as a work of literature rather than as a philological puzzle making these passage intelligible and establishing their importance in the development of the classical Indian world view. Using methodology of recent literary criticism Willard Johnson focuses on the need to understand these difficult passages in terms of their form and the context in which this form originated. Their form is that of riddle and response their context that of the Rg Vedic speculative symposium. In the speculative symposium the Vedic counterpart of the Greek symposium priest-contestants prepared themselves for the performance of sacrificial rites by formulating responses to 'enigmatizing images' put to them by their fellows. The sacred enigmatic nature of the image deterred those unworthy of initiation but had the power to reveal the unknowable to him who perservered in its contemplation. Against this background the author illuminates three key Rg Vedic images: the two birds in the fig tree the sun and the wheel. His exploration sheds light on the relationship of poetry to speculative thought and on the common sources of literary and religious consciousness." University of California Press, hardcover

He assumed the demeanor and dress of a woman acted like a monkey a child a madman and a comedian at various times during his career. Using the concept of play lila as both spontaneous activity and dramatic performance on behalf of Kali Carl Olson provides a interpretive key for unlocking Ramakrishna's life and his often contradictory forms of behavior. Olson places Ramakrishna in his social and historical context examines his relationship to women and investigates his status as a mystery or stranger to his contemporaries.
