The Rig Veda: Complete (Illustrated)

An incredible text that everyone should read.

I haven't read through the whole thing but so far I'm blown away and I love the illustrations!!

As advertised

There are three pictures in the front, not related to any particular, so no, it is not "illustrated". This is the only translation of the Rig Veda available at an affordable price. the Forgotten Books edition also uses this same translation. Apparently it is public domain. The critical edition costs over $400 so we are pretty much stuck with this old translation. It will have to do.

Its a good translation. I love older books great read.

it is what it says it is.

This is an old translation of the Rig Veda made by Ralph Griffith in 1890. Unfortunately it is the only complete translation available in English. There is another contemporary translation by Brereton et al. from Oxford Press, however; it is out of print. Penguin has a translation by Wendy Doniger of 108 of the hymns (about 10% of the total) which is very good because she has many notes and explanatory material.This translation has many flaws which are noted by other reviewers.

illustrated ???3 bad photo kopies in the beginning. fussy black and white. There you go! i feel cheated.
