3 - Interesting Facts About Scriptures

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 ---
Bharat, the son of Dushyant and Shakuntalaa was during 2580-2500 BC (p 259)
Ayodhyaa was founded c 2000 BC (p 50)
Bharat, the son of Dasharath and Kaikeyee was during 1758-1660 BC (p 259)
Krishn, the son of Vasudev and Devakee, was during 1150-1064 BC (p 110)
How come that Bharat of Ayodhyaa lived only for 102 years, while his brother Raam ruled for 11,000 years? Because all went to their Dhaam at the same time.
How come that the difference between Raam and Krishn's periods was only 500 years, while Raam ruled for 11,000 years?

Whether one is a son or a daughter or somebody else, he should offer Pind to the dead like a son.
[Agni Puraan, Ch 158, Shlok 56, p 331]

It seems,
Indra also takes birth on Prithvi - read Indraprasth Teerth and Shiv Sharmaa's Story in Padm Puraan 5/28;
he also goes to Param Dhaam not to come back - read "Glory of Geetaa's Chapter 18 in Padm Puraan, 5/22".
