CHAPTSB-III

It is clear from the foregoing discussion In the Charter-I I

how much the BO.ha® borrowed from the W. Similarly the
Sarvanukramanl of Katyayana has borrowed much from the BD. *he
Sarvi. borrows the entire portion of the BD. which is dedicated
to the enumeration of the Rgvedie deities, '"here are also some
legends of the 3D. which haw been borrowed by the Sarva. and in
it's Introduction the Sarva. borrows some passages from the BD
regarding different views relating to the vedle deities. Dealing
with the relationship of the BD- with the Sgrva* Prof. Macdonell
concludes that fifteen anustup padas of the BD. are adopted by the
e

Serve* Without any change, seventyfive other passages are eabeded

in it*s text with slight modifications and ten other passages of
the Sarva are clearly based in each ease on half sleka of the BD.
^he matter which is borrowed by the Sarva* from the BD .can be
classified into the following categories!
1. The definition of a deity.
2. The importance of tie knowledge of vedle Deities.
3* The number of Vadie Deities.
4. Legends concerning the ^gvedic deities.
5. Enumeration of the Deities of the Rgveda.

The ED. defines the deity of a hymn or a verse as the

subjeetmattar of that hymn or the verse. This definition has been
adopted by Katyayana in different words. Both the texts ere cited

belowt

Though in tho above cited passages the Same idea is
contained, yet the wording is completely changed in the Serve,
2
In defining a deity both the authors agree with the N.

The author of the ED is of the view that the knowledge of

the deities of the mantras utilised in customary or Tadic
ceremonies is essential for attaining the fruit of those
ceremonies, * similar idea is expressed by Katyiy»na In the
Sarva. regarding the importance of the knowledge of Vedic deities,
which is given below* Without the knowledge of deities Srauta and
smarta rites cannot bs accomplished, Bothrf the texts are cited
below*
BD I, 4* Sarva. Intro. I.

rora tha above citations It is clear that the idea is borrowed
by the Sarva, but the wording is completely changed as kascidaviInara
is substituted by etaMnanaarta and lattfeYinaia YalfllKsnag,fcnrBaDaB
• •

has been substituted by sra at smarts karma. Phalamasraite is

replaced by praeidhlh. The Sarva has omitted vat ha tathy ana
dalvatam but has referred to it by etpilnanaft,
(3)
The ED.adopted three views regarding the number of Yedle
deities i.e. there are three deities, or thirty deities or only
one deity, mha Sarva, follows the two views i.e. the view of
 t 50 t

thr«« deities and that of one deity, ▼he H). says that there
are only three deltlee viz, Agnl on this earth , Indra or Vjjiyu
In the middle and Surya In the heaven. Following the ED,
Katyayana says that there are only three deities In the three
spheres vis. Agnifr Vayu and 9urya respectively on the earth,
antarlksa and heaven. Both the texts are ci ted belotrs

wording of the passage a* it substitutes a sain and wdhvatp by

kiltyentarl Ha and
• •
tor the justification of the statement that there are only three
deities the author of the BD-Says that due to the manifestation
of their power they are designated by different names. In the
Sane context the Sarva. says that other deities belonging to that
sphere are different names of these deities, due to the manifestation
of their powers and accomplishment of divergent functions, •’’he
idea of divergent functions is not adopted by the H)-which the
Sarva. directly borrows from the N. Both the texts arc cited

If both the texts are compared, It is clear that the idea 1*
the same but the wording Is completely changed and the second
Idea is also added by ths Sarva.
 * 61 *

After dividing these deities In to three regions, the

^athor of the HB cooes to monotheism* in lt*e monotheistic
approach the ID - follows the N.® on account of the aupremlnenee
of the deities a single soul is praised in various ways. The
Sane idea is reproduced by the BD. in the following wayi
BD. I. 70t etaSam mahatmyan namanyatvam vldhiyate l.e.
Owing to their majesty different names are applied to them* The
and the H>* do not directly state that there is only one
deity but in the Sarva., we find directly stated that there is
only one deltyi
Sarva* Intro. II. U.
ekalva mahanatma devate*
So according to the ^arva.there is only one great deity* *row
the problem is* who is that great deity? The 3D.is of the view
that great deity le Surya which should be known as the only
•ffte

cause or origin and dissolution of this word* But this is not

the original view of the BD* because it ascribes this view to
some unnamed authorities as only the word ek£ is found in the
text and it indicates that this idea is sponsored by sore than
one person* The same Idea is also adopted by the Sgrva* which
says that (great) rod is iurya and he is soul of all the beings
Both the texts are quoted below*
H>* I* €U _ Sarva* intro. II* 15-16t
asyalke suryam ekam sa surys ityaeaksate sa hi

in both the above cited texts, the idea is the same but
the wording is completely different* only the word surya is
common in both the texts* But we can say that the Sarva* directly
states that there is only one cod, which is purely a monotheistic
view*

There was an Asurl daughter Saptagu praised Indra

begetting a son like Indra, HV. X. 47. There wee
Then she obtained^her an Asurl who performed
desires from pra J(patl In severe austerities with

a wish to slay the Paltyas e son like Indra, Indra
and the Dansvas Tndra himself himself was born of hmr•
was engaged In battle with Pleased by the praise of
the Panavas. Of them, he Saptagu, he (Indra)
slew nine nineties and seven landed himself by the
groups of seven having J?V. X, 4P-60,
shattered with the might of
his arms their citadels of
gold, silver, and Iron, and
having slain all of them in
their respective spheres,as
arrayed on earth and in the

earth he exterminated both
the Kalikeya» and the race
of Pul one, the arehers, and
In heaven the notorious
offspring of prahlada* By
attaining sovereignty among
the ^aityas and being puffed
up with pride by reason of
his might, he began to harass

Infatuated by the eraft of
the asuras, when they were
being harassed by that Asura,
they fled for succour to
Saptagu, who was ths most
excellent of the seers so
that ths lattsr should
admonish him (Indra), Tha
se«r Saptagu was a dear friend
of his (Indra*s) so he praised
him with the hymn X-47, Then
on cowing to himself and
rejoiced at the praise of
Saptagu, praised himself with
the three hymns (HV. X, 48-50).

on comparing both the versions of this legend It can be

seen that the Sarva, ha» simply referred to this legend whereas
the BD, ha» narrated it In detail* From the above diecusaed
three legends one can conclude that the sarva* refers to the
legends connected with certain hyans and mantras of tha Rgveda,

prom the above discussed specification of the del tie s of

the Rgveda, It Is clear that the Sarvanukramanl slightly differs
*

from the H>. in this respect. This difference '"ay be classified

Into four categories. In the first category,the Sferva-ha* added
sohms other deities to those which are specified by the HD. in the
second category It ha* substituted some deities by other deities.
The third category Is of those Instances where It simply mentions
 I 66 t

lingoktadevata whereas in the l«st category It ha® omit ted

some deities enumerated by the BO.

This comparative study reveals that the *arvinukramant

is very much indebted to the BD. Excepting the above discussed
cases, the ?*rva. has borrowed the entire portion from the BO.
which deal* with the expositicm of the pgvedic deities.
