How many Mandalas are there in the Rigveda?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Ten.
The Rigveda, one of the oldest and most important sacred texts of Hinduism, is divided into 10 books, known as Mandalas.
These Mandalas vary in length and age, with Mandalas 2 through 7 generally considered the oldest and shortest, often referred to as the "family books." Mandalas 1 and 10 are the youngest and longest, containing a wider variety of hymns and philosophical themes. The 9th Mandala is uniquely dedicated entirely to Soma.
