This is a Chinese-language edition. The Rigveda is the earliest surviving collection of Sanskrit hymns and a foundational text of ancient Indian civilization. This complete modern Chinese verse translation presents all ten books and 1,028 poems, including invocations to Agni, Indra, Uṣas, and other deities, as well as dialogue hymns, ritual verse, and reflections on creation, mortality, language, and human desire. Based on the Sanskrit original, this translation seeks to preserve semantic precision while conveying the energy, cadence, and ceremonial voice of the poems in contemporary Chinese.
