description: The scriptures revered by Hindus are enormously varied and R. C. Zaehner's anthology has long been considered invaluable for its breadth and diversity. Now Dominic Goodall expands Zaehner's work with three fresh translations including one work that appears for the first time in English. Spanning more than two thousand years the range of selections in this book include arcane hymns of the ancient Aryans prescriptions governing every aspect of the daily life of the orthodox and sensual poetry.
