Excerpt from book: CHAPTER I: DISPOSITION OF THE REPEATED VERSES IN TEN CLASSES Classification according to extent and interrelations of the Repeated Matter As stated above (p. 4), the number of repetitions in the EV. which involve metrical lines singly, or in distichs, or in stanzas, or in groups of stanzas is about 2,400. This number is exclusive of repetitions of verse-lines within one and the same hymn; exclusive of refrain pfulus; and exclusive of catenary repetitions. But this number includes the pada pairs or groups, described on p. 10, which show considerable similarity, yet not enough to entitle them to be regarded as full repetitions. These are taken account of only occasionally in the following classification. In the majority of cases repetitions may be said to be sporadic, that is, a single pada appears in two or more different parts of the Sariihits. This class is taken for granted, and is not further considered. But repetition is by no means restricted to repetition of single padas: every conceivable group or mass of padas, even up to an entire hymn (see p. 13), is occasionally repeated, in such a way as to call for arrangement according to the size or nature of this group or mass. Accordingly it has been found convenient to deal with this matter under the following ten heads: 1. Groups of stanzas are repeated. 2. Entire single stanzas are repeated unchanged, as refrains at the end of hymns. 3. Entire single stanzas, not refrains, are repeated in any part of a hymn. 4. Substantially identical stanzas are repeated with changes. 5. Similar stanzas. 6. Distichs are repeated unchanged. 7. Distichs are repeated with changes. 8. Single padas are repeated with an added word or words. 9. Two or more unconnected padas recurrent in the same pair of hymns...

This book reconstructs the original and origins of the Rig Veda, (between 5.000 to 2.500 B.C, ) the first Indo-European written document ever to show the origin of cultures and the power of music in the recitation and construction of the original hymns. Here we find the original geometries, original forms, original sacrifice of any form to claim supremacy over the others and the continued movement of human life. This book brings together early humans with modern neurobiological discoveries and shows the origins of multiple centers of knowing (the gods), the movement of the singer and the song in a world that avoids idolatry of substances by insisting in the constant movement of singer, song, and music. If you thought you knew all there is to know about the language you use, read this book and find out the idolatry of its imagery and the possible sacrifice needed for a happy, communal and divine life.
