Nirvaan word is not found anywhere in Ved. Brahmaa word is not found in Ved, although Vishnu and Shiv exist very importantly, especially Shiv as Rudra. No evidence of child marriage and polygamy is found in Ved, though both were subsequently practiced in most parts of India. More hymns are addressed to Indra in Ved than to any other deity. 16 Mantra of Rig Ved (Hymn 10-90) are known as Purush Sookt. This is the only hymn in the entire Rig Ved which uses all four words - Braahman, Raajanya (Kshatriya), Vaishya, and Shoodra. Raadhaa's name never appears anywhere except in Brahmvaivart Puraan and "Venee Sanhaar" book written by Bhatt Naaraayan (570-630 AD).
Aangiras writes that --- Whether one is a son or a
