The book deals with variety of concepts, images and beliefs in the Vedic tradition, revealed through Vedic hymns and rituals. Several images and symbols, at times, are influenced by folk-beliefs at that period, some of which are current even to-day. The complex image of ?Aksara? not only having a rain-symbolism but also getting a dimension of proto-philosophy, that of the Son-husband current even today, that of the ?crying words? not restricted only to the Vedic literature, the images centering round Soma as a ritual-drink, the ?eye? of Prajapati, the problematic ?Sasarpari?, divinity of the banners , Vana though a war-trumpet changing into ritual musical instrument, the unique birth of Vasistha and Agastya from a jar, the words ?Dvibarhas? and ?siprin? indicative of power and status, the riddle of the black antelope, dance of Indra and Chaya giving a glimpse of ancient war-dance ? these and many more, delvings in the Vedic hymns and rituals display a treasure of myriad images.
