[Advaita-l] Ganapati Sukta RV 8-81 Translation

[Dr. Yadu Moharir]

Namaste:

'sadasaspati [1.18 (6-8)]',
'kshetrapati [4.57 (1-3)] and vaastospati [7.54 and 55]'
'gaR^ihapati and naraasha.nsa [1.18 (9)]'

Theses are regarded as the alternate equivalent names.

In 2.23 brhamaNaspati and bR^ihaspati are regarded as the same devataa.

As a leader of "gana" R^ikavat was classified as GaNapati for brahmaNaspati.

1.18 (6-8) R^ichaa are addressed for sadaspati where as the 9th R^icaa is for naraasha.nsa.  Ultimately, all were regarded as being just the "naamaantara" (alternate changed / altered names).  

If I come across any additional information I will let you know.

namaste,

Since this thread has been raised again, here are my comments.

Shri Yadu-ji:

Could you please  verify the differences among the following again:

'sadasaspati [1.18 (6-8)]',
'kshetrapati [4.57 (1-3)] and vaastospati [7.54 and 55]'
'gaR^ihapati and naraasha.nsa [1.18 (9)]'


Shri ShriKrishna

Some of these (brhmaNaspati, bR^ihaspati, sadasaspati) are devataas of
appear as part of  brhmaNaspati-sUkta, most of whose mantras are from
(the rather difficult to learn) gRitsamada ma~nDala. This is different
from gaNapati-sUkta of 8th ma~nDala which was your original question.

namaste
Ramakrishna
