Religious And Moral Sentiments - John Muir

Religious and Moral Sentiments: Metrically Rendered from Sanskrit Writers is a book written by John Muir and published in 1875. The book is a collection of translations of religious and moral verses from Sanskrit writers, rendered in metric form. Muir, a Scottish Sanskrit scholar, translated these verses with the aim of making them accessible to a wider audience.The book is divided into two parts. The first part contains translations of verses from the Rigveda, the oldest of the four sacred texts of Hinduism. These verses are mainly hymns to various gods and goddesses, and they offer insights into the religious beliefs and practices of ancient India.The second part of the book contains translations of verses from various other Sanskrit texts, including the Mahabharata, the Ramayana, and the Bhagavata Purana. These verses cover a wide range of topics, including morality, ethics, and spirituality.Muir's translations are notable for their poetic quality, as he sought to convey the beauty and elegance of the original Sanskrit verses in English. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the religious and philosophical traditions of India, as well as for those interested in the history of translation and the development of English poetry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
