D.K. Printworld (P) Ltd., New Delhi, 2006. Hardcover. Condition: New. 2nd edition. In the Hindu pantheon, Yama holds a unique place. A counterpart, in the indigenous tradition, of Avestan Yima, Egyptian Osiris or Greek Pluto, he inspires terror in the heart of an average mortal : not only owing to his overlordship of the abode of the dead, but also for his identification with death itself. Yama`s image in Hindu mythology, however, has come to have full many variants -- which Dr. Merh`s study tries to capture against their essential literary settings. Based on the prodigious mass of India`s old-world scriptural literature -- the , Samhitas, Brahmanas, Aranyakas and Upanishads, besides the puranic texts, the book meticulously explores all possible traits of Yama`s personality, highlighting how the mythical view of this glorious, other-world god passes through a striking change over the millennia between the Rigveda and the later . Unfolding the deity`s `Vedic` and `Puranic` descriptions -- respectively in part 1 and part 2 of the book, the author focusses specially on Yama, the creator, preacher, the philosopher, the law-giver, the punisher and above all, on his role as an eschatologist. Invaluable to the scholars of Indology, Hindu mythology and comparative religion. Book Contents Preface Abbreviations List of Plates PART I Yama in the Vedas 1.
