In the Rgvedic text he is solar deity associated with days and seasons'. References to the worship of early form of Vishnu in India are found in inscribed on the pillar at Vidisha. During the second to first century BCE a Greek by name Heliodorus had erected a pillar in Vidisha in the honor of Vasudev^. This shows the popularity of Bhagvatism which made a Greek convert himself to the fold In the Purans he is referred to as Shripati or the husband oiLakshmi^, God of Vanmala ^ (wearer of necklace of wild flowers), Pundarikaksh, (lotus eyed)'". A seal showing a Kushan chief standing in a respectful pose before the four armed God holding a wheel, mace a ring like object and a globular object observed by Cunningham appears to be one of the early representations of Vishnu". 1.

MAJIK Research Student, Department of History, Goa University, Goa 403206 E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: As in many other States of India, the State of Goa has a strong tradition of serpent cult from the ancient period. Influence of Naga people brought rich tradition of serpent worship in Goa. In the course of time, there was gradual change in iconography of serpent deities and pattern of their worship. There exist a few writings on serpent worship in Goa. However there is much scope to research further using recent evidences and field work. This is an attempt to analyse the tradition of serpent worship from a historical and analytical perspective. Keywords: Nagas, Tradition, Sculpture, Inscription The Ancient World The Sanskrit word naga is actually derived from the word naga, meaning mountain. Since all the Animal worship is very common in the religious history Dravidian tribes trace their origin from mountains, it of the ancient world. One of the earliest stages of the may probably be presumed that those who lived in such growth of religious ideas and cult was when human places came to be called Nagas.6 The worship of serpent beings conceived of the animal world as superior to deities in India appears to have come from the Austric them. This was due to obvious deficiency of human world.7 beings in the earliest stages of civilisation.

O critério é pessoal, certamente condicionado pela nossa visão, por paixões inexplicáveis que sentimos a urgência de partilhar com quem também vibra com estas coisas. “Oriente – Ocidente 2” porque segue uma fórmula que iniciámos no catálogo anterior (2006, já lá vão dois anos!) de mostrar algumas peças europeias, uma quantidade de objectos nascidos da interacção dos dois mundos postos frente a frente quando os Portugueses se lançaram na sua aventura das Descobertas e também, não podia deixar de ser, temos um grupo de peças do Oriente antigo, clássico, sobretudo escultura religiosa Hindu, Budista e Jain.

    The Concept of Mahishasurmardini Is Puranic

    CHAPTER 4. FEMALE DEITIES DPuranic female deities 1. Evolution oiMahishasurmardini in ^Q Purans - The concept of Mahishasurmardini is Puranic. The Markandey Puran gives a detailed description of evolution of this deity in its chapter titled Devi Mahatmyam. It is compiled in the form of 579 Shloks\ The Markandey Puran is divided into 5 distinct parts out of which chapter 79-90 provide references to Durga under the title Devi Mahatmyam'^. This was further extended to 700 Shloks which included elaborate rituals. This documentation is called as Durga Saptshati'\ The Markandey Puran is assigned to the 10* century and a copy of the same was found in the Royal Library' of Nepal which was dated to 998 CE**. However the date of Devi Mahatmyam being written is considered to be of 5th-6'*' century^ It is also concluded that this Puran must have originated in western India^. This makes the Puran more relevant for this study. The Devi Mahdtymydm mentions a detailed description of the evolution of this deity. In its Chapter 2 titled Madhyam-Charit it mentions that a demon named Mahishasur has defeated all the gods along with their chief Indra in a battle which lasted for nearly 100 years^. This chapter corresponds to chapter 79 of Markandey Purdn^. This demon had taken control over the Sury, Indra, Agni, Vdyu, Chandra, Yum, Varun, Kuher etc. Vishnu, Shiva and Brahma were approached by the gods to save them from this menace^. On hearing this all the three gods sent out Tej through their body. Shankar 's Tej created her face while Yum's Tej created her hair.

    Chapter 2 :- GOA AND ITS PAST 1.

The names of Goa have changed over the years and it is equally interesting to correlate these ancient names with the present names of places. It is all the more exciting to trace and study the evolution of the name Goa, based on epigraphs, stone inscriptions and other archival records like treatises of sages. Without going to the etymological roots of Goa; the ancient names by which Goa was known throughout the ages. A Puranic documentation called Sahvadhri Khand calls Goa by the names of ^Gomantak' in its first chapter^.
