Text from Angira

edit

Angira is one of the saptarishis in Hindu legends. Vedic rishi (or sage) who, along with sage Atharvan, is credited to have formulated ("heard") most of the fourth Veda called Atharvaveda. He is also mentioned in the other three Vedas. Sometimes he is reckoned as one of the Seven Great Sages, or saptarishis. His wife is Surūpa and his sons are Utatya, Samvartana and Brihaspati. He is a Manasaputra (wish-born-son) of Lord Brahma. Other accounts say that he married Swadhā, the daughter of Daksha.

Buddhism references

edit

The Buddhism references are fascinating. Unfortunately, I can't find them anywhere in the Pali Canon. The page numbers do not refer to either the published editions or the translations. I did a search for Angirasa/o in the Pali Tipitaka and found nothing even close to the story about the Buddha prefering the Angirasa version of the Vedas. It would be interesting if such a text existed, but until someone provides better documentation, I am afraid that this one of those errors that will now find its way into lots of books because someone found it on Wikipedia. If no one substantiates the claims in this section in a few months, I will fix it. Joseph Walser — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joseph Walser (talkcontribs) 17:21, 29 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

Angirasas a constellation?

edit

should not according to RV V.65.8 Angirasas be the constellation which we know as "Twins"?--87.152.224.52 (talk) 15:52, 22 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

What do you mean V.65.8? Rig Veda Book 5 Hymn 65 only has six verses: http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/rigveda/rv05065.htm 69.248.132.69 (talk) 21:07, 14 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

Is the association between Angra Mainyu and Angiras widely accepted in scholarly circles?
