Literature

Sri Aurobindo has translated this opening hymn of the Rig-Veda several times over many years. There exists also an unpublished translation of the first verse, to which Sri Aurobindo has added a detailed explanation of the main terms that occur therein. “I seek with adoration the God-Will, divine priest of the sacrifice placed in front, sacrificer in the seasons, offerer of the oblation, who most ordains the ecstasy.”
