Preface
It gives me pleasure to put forward this volume of collected papers dealing with the Vedic literature. These papers were presented and discussed in various seminars arranged by many prestigious institutes.

These articles deal with two aspects of Vedic study. Part One deals with the problems concerning religion, mythology and presents the interpretation of the Vedic texts whereas Part Two deals with a particular branch of Vedic analysis, the first and foremost Vedanta Siksa and Prätiśākhya. In the first part nineteen papers are presented.

The first paper 'Arati : A Developed Form of Aratrika' tries to show the development of a rite performed everyday in the Puja ritual. As the etymology of the word ärati given in a prestigious Marathi encyclopedia was not convincing, I tried to trace out its origin and development and thereby successfully arrived at the original source of the word as well as that of the rite.

The second paper entitled 'Interpretation of Dream Through the Eyes of Moderns and Ancients' tries to point out the similarity in the beliefs regarding dream in ancient mind and in the mind of a modern Indian man. The paper was presented in a seminar on the 'Living Customs and their Ancient Indian Sources' and is published in the proceedings of the same.
